Welcome to KZr Axis.

Although the rake on the front is diff, the body lines and overall look hint to a V-Rod...with the heart of an inline-4 of course.
Most definately a power cruiser with real power! B)

This basically was a 4 year project that started life with a $500 79 KZ1000 ST. The only remnants from the ST are the fork tubes and ignition system. My intent was to build around what I belive to be the best power plant out there, the KZ1000. The end result you see here has a "J" motor in it.

I'm more of a cafe' styled bike type of guy, but I really like that!
One thing for sure, it should make a lot of metric cruiser and HD riders cry after you whup 'em on it!
And they'll cry even more when they find out you probably have less money invested in the conversion (just a guess since you didn't state what the cost was) than they have in their entire bikes! :evil: :whistle: :laugh:

Nicely done - and certainly something completely different.

The effort shows, and it's a definite head turner.

My compliments.

Super smooth! How did you fabricate the body work? I see no cables, are they integrated into the handlebars? I like it! (THAT's what I'm talkin about biker build off, take notes LOL)

Welcome to the site, Axis!
Nice looking cruiser. Good idea, cruiser styling with a decent powerplant.
