1983 KZ750 Project. 3yrs but nearing the end!

I started this project about 3 years ago and am finally nearing the end. I bought this bike from a dirt drag champion in our area and started to transform it into what I have wanted to make for a long time. I love the vintage bikes and especially the KZ's but also I am a sport bike fan, but the newer sport bikes have gotten to crazy looking for me so I started this. 1983 KZ750L3, 810 bore, Jetted, Pods and Kerker no baffle. Very Loud and fast. Had dirt tires when I bought it and was Very Dirty!

I had to shrink the pictures, this is the first pic I took. I had bought new tires and a lot of other things at this point which have all been removed as I changed my mind on the design.

Sorry guys, I am having trouble with my pics. I will have to get some compression software to shrink the size. I will post again when I am finished with the bike. I am tearing it apart to paint it.

Unless you're using Linux or a Mac, in which case you use Gimp :)

No MS Windows allowed here at my house(newer than 2k Pro anyway).
