'75 kz400d

Here's what i've been busting my ass on...
before

after (as of yesterday)

It's been a blast to build and only needs a few things to be road worthy. Mount a mirror, paint and mount a front fender, and get it to idle right. (still searching around the forum for ideas on the idle problem.) Oh yeah, I couldn't have done it without the help of the members of this forum. Thank you!

I'm not much of a chopper guy, but that's pretty cool. Kinda Russ Mitchell-ish.

I like it. It has a certain old school Triumph chopper flair to it.

Great job! I like the look. I'm thinking of building a bobber this winter. It'll have a leaf spring front end.

Ride safe

Cool!

Hey is that a cross-over pipe in the front? That early version of the 400 has a built-in cross-over *inside* the engine, right between the exhaust outlets, so a cross-over pipe isn't needed...

Thanks guys! No, that's not a cross over pipe. It's just a 2 into 1 exhaust that I made cross in front of the motor. I just wanted to try something a little different.
