Welcome!

We like pictures. And i like your shop.Did i mention we like pictures? roy

i bought today VANCE & HINES PRO COMP EXHAUST on ebay

i gotta respect a man who knows what he wants and goes for it.i understand that the captured swingarm is a quick and easy way to build a hardtail.is there a particular reason that you did not just fab a rigid rear section?this thing is going to look wild i can't wait to see when you are finished.most people on here get a little queazy when some one cuts up a kz,thats probably why more people have not stopped in to say hi.you should check out www.chopcult.com they are all about chopping up any brand of bike.keep us posted,and welcome.

Thank you man. You are right about the frame.
in the near future I will try to build rigid frame.
I have the kz 15 year, I bought him is a Rickman .And after several years I converted him to a streetfighter,and now again I do him face lift.

wow, that's a cool looking tank!

Welcome to KZR,

Nice looking build you got there, I like the Camaro too

Welcome yuvalbo1!!! Nice bike...we appreciate all the photos.

Thankes to all very appreciate:) . You soo... lucky in USA so many motorcycles. in Israel my kz is maybe one of three alive, and same with the camaro.

we are very lucky to have access to so many bikes.it is also convenient for us because we have access to so many parts and knowledge.you are kinda like the "lone ranger"( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Ranger ) having to go it alone and learn and search for parts.you have joined a huge community of fellow zedheads,so hopefully from here on out we will be able to help you on your kz journey.
so let me get this right you cut up your rickman frame?
i like the look it had as a streetfighter,and can't wait to see when you have this version finished.keep us posted,

hhh...."lone ranger" But I guess you are right.to hard for lovers of motorcycles and special cars in israel. and not to mention on the bureaucracy that heap on us, On these days we struggle in the insurance companies that want to cost price of the insurance to motorcycles 2000$ in the year.yes i cut rickman frame.
Thanks again bro.

Wellcome. many people will be sad to hear that u cut the Rickman. They are getting rare. But the main thing is to do what u want.
What did u use for forks? did u make them longer?
