I see you're a fan of Omar's :)

Nice stuff, but be aware virtually none of it is a direct fit to a 750B, and you may be better off using the Omar's stuff for ideas and making your own.

You are exactly correct. I am going to build or modify all my parts. I have a new dirt track frame ordered for the KZ750B from Powroll who took over Trackmaster Frames. It will be available for other KZ750B's after mine is made. Mine will be the first one for the Kawasaki Twin. I will post all pic here as soon as they are available. Engine teardown will be first. Much work to be done..

This is one of my favorite 750 twins here (it's in the gallery, 750 twins pg. 3), looks a lot like what you have in mind:

I really like trackers. There was a guy with a Yam650 Tracker that used to go to bikenite. Real sweet bike. Looked like the one that HossInReno put up earlier. Couldn't miss it blindfolded. That orange Kaw is very nice too. How can you look at one and not want one? These things are way too addictive! My name is Locozuna and I'm a motorcyclist. (Hello Locozuna) I been off cycles now for.....heh...what time is it? :blink:
