so something like one of these kits...i rekon.....may be overkill though...i'm thinking i wish i had something small enough and easy enough to set-up-store--break down ....that i can , when doing some small task,stop,and hit the bolts-nuts ect that task has loosened...with out being some big process....

anyone have any experience with these...i am hoping to fix some of the rusted fasteners over time,like the front rotor bolts in this shot...with new paint and nice parts they are gonna really stick out...

i wish i had a little kit for doing small stuff cheap...that worked good?????

Yep.... too much bling, too many doo-dads messes up the beauty of the KZ's clean lines. It's all got to flow together a one continuous work of art to please my eye...

MKII was the only squared off model. Nicely done they are visually stunning. I'd like to do a mono shock with modern forks version. Trouble is finding one to work with. You were lucky to find the one you did :)

well believe it or not i'm getting a MII A-4 frame and have the body and seat....so with a little luck i'll come by a MKII engine ...then that frame will be free to brace and mod...i like the idea of some of the more modern fronts...see if i can find a pic of the fork/front end...not bling..just updated rim sizes and some better/lighter/strong binders...

something like that with the 80 body...some cbr rims and binders in a newer fork...a banshee swing arm....and some reasonable used but nice parts...i am not in the game fore 800 dollar shocks ect...

tight lines and such...next....after this one(project finished for the yr) i am buying the MKII frame...finding a big pin engine could be a problem...but things do pop up in c-list all the time miss- listed or for cheap
