Re: Tell me what you think...chop or not???
09 Aug 2009 20:57Well Finally got a couple of the bikes back home....
so heres the thing...I was going to do my rest-mod thing to this bike....you know front suspension and mono shock the frame ect.ect.
but I am getting BIG TIME flak over it....and now my old lady decides she wants to ride it.
So do I leave it alone...and finnish hers for me ...or do I finnish what I had planned for this and screw everybody else( nomally what I would do)except for all the shit I am taking just for talking about it...LOL
or maybe I should just sell it and find a POS to play with...
I will admit it is a pretty cool bike with all the goodies
cal fab, keihin 31's, rickman fairing,yosh head and cams and Pipe I believe,lester mags
you grt the picture....
but really would you want to ride this how it is ...or with modern suspension,brakes, and rubber....I mean it will still look like a kz900
I know this is probably start a shit storm ...but what the hell...so dont hold back ...let 'er rip...LOL

Cut up that Blue Kawi with the missing head if you feel the need to modify one... Actually I'd get a total POS for that project that way it you hose the mod you wont feel so bad...
This one I'd leave alone especially if the warden is wanting to ride it... If she's happy, you'll be happy...

if she want's to ride it the way it is let her have at it.then finish the blue one the way you want.you can always mod this one when/if she gets tired of it all in good consciousness then .seems like the quickest way to make everybody happy.

Leave the chop jobs to the HD crowd. Stick a side cover on it and ride. Winters coming soon.

Question, the bike appears to already modified. Front end looks raked, missing rear pegs, swingarm, battery box missing, not sure about others. Good looking bike, but the warden comes first, for any peace in your life....good luck
