Badboie's Bike Project. KZ 750ltd

Your project is really looking great !!! .... and you seem to have a cool vision of what you want!!!

I have an 81 LTD parts bike ... once my 80 LTD is finished the parts bike becomes the new project :woohoo:

Oh yeah ... I voted .... hope it's not too late.

okiedokie folks. here it is. so i got my bike back from the shope. I AM super excited to ride my bike when I get it all back together. Here are the pic of my bike 80% of the way together.













SO close to being done! I can already see me riding it. Next we have to tackle the engine and figure out why the #1 cylender isn't fireing. we think it might be a stuck float because we have great spark and great compression. when we pull the plug its soaked. so i got a new 4 set hope they work. I have already rebuilt the carbs twice also. Anywho. hope you all like what you see. I will post pictures when its all together. :woohoo:

so what do you all think of it so far?

looks good.how much of an offset sprocket did you use?

5/8 offet ment to be used with a 530 chain pitch

ok so we're working on th engine now. I need to know the best way to pull the engine out of the frame?

Take off the turnsignals, sidecovers and such.
Loosen bolts on engine.
Lay bike over on right side, remove bolts, cuss a lot, remove frame from engnine.

see i thought it was harder then my father said. "Oh, all you need to do is loosen this and that and pul it out, its simple." yeah right. lol. well it looks like I'm going to have to repaint the bike. I chiped it bad then i was pulling the covers off. its sux but i think I like the color i got now better then the last.

Sure has come a long way. What are you pulling the motor for? Sure would be a good time to 'black' the motor out while you've got it out of overspray range of the rest of the bike!
Lookin' good,

well i guess i wont have to worry about over spray much because i have to re-spray the covers and tank. I chipped a chunk out of the pain the other day pulling off te covers. so it has to go back to the paint. This time I'm having my father's boss spray it since he HAS all the stuff to do it with. Its a different color too. A metallic blue with blue pearl. its a killer color I think. I'll have to see it on my bike before i decide its a good color though. well the reason I'm pulling the motor is because We thought we needed to replace the base gasket but we checked with a torsion bar to see it it was cranked down all the way and it wasn't so we figure that was the reason it was leaking oil. we'll see if that works.

Where did you get those shocks?

they are from Ebay. they came from Japan, but they say made in China... lol no I'm kidding. but for real, they did come from Japan and there were from Ebay. They were only 40 bucks. I think they need some more oil or something in them because they are kinda soft. Not bad though. I haven't been on the road with them so I'll soon find out. If I find out the brand of these I'll let you know.
