This is shaping up to be a really cool build! Nice 
77 KZ1000-A1 "Bushido" Project
82 KZ1000 LTD "Terri Lee"
You know what, I don't have a one to some other number of douche-bag scale. So.. Six!

We got the replacement cylinder all cleaned up and started putting the engine back together.

The hardest part was getting the cam timing right. It took us a couple of tries, but we eventually got it.

Not knowing exactly what the carb came from, I had to order a manifold to fit the carb. The mounting holes weren't quite the right spacing, but my Dad took care of that for me.
Mounts up real nice now. I still have a little cleaning and detail work to do on the lower half of the engine.

So....I picked up another tank to work with. It's not all the way forward on the frame in this pic (yet more customizing to be done), but it looks like it will work.
Any guesses as to what it's from?
Maybe this shot will give you a hint. It still has that "skinny" look we were going for.

And my Dad fabbed up this acrylic plate for the timing cover. Apparently, there's a special "tool" from Kawasaki that's used to time the engine. I guess there's oil behind this cover when the engine is running.
That "special tool" is a piece of clear plastic, so we made our own.
