Thanks to everyone, I'm done!

Hey guys, just want to post the pics of my completed project. If you check out my other posts you will see what I started with. A bare frame and a box of parts. Thanks to the information and expertise on this site I was able to build this bad boy. I had never worked on a KZ until this one (go big or go home I guess). Anyhow, I just wanted to say thanks for the help, I used this forum exclusively to do all my research and when stuck asked questions.

And the best part? I smoked my buddy's VN2000 yesterday. Like it was nothing. And that's with a stock 900 motor. Imagine what will happen when I drop in project #2 (mk2 1045 motor).



















Picture of project 2:

Congrats! Nice job on the exhaust wrap. Roy

lol, true, stainless lines would be nice. There are 1000 other things I could do. For now I'm enjoying the ride.

"I'm done"... Yeah right, sure you are.... :whistle: :laugh:

That build came out real nice, well done....

Speedo/Tach... I've seen them on J&P Cycle website....
What gearing selection you use on the speedo/tach or you go with electronic pickups?

You may want to throw a write up on how you accomplished for several members would be interested no doubt.... Just a thought...

Nice job! New project in 3......2.......1........

Good job, I really like the way that front end looks on there.

Congrats!

Thanks guys, it was a boat load of fun to build, many nights sitting in my orcker in the corner of the garage trying to figure stuff out.

The speedo and tach I got from dime city cycles for 60 a piece, the tach is electronic as I'm running a dyna 2000 the speedo is 2240/60 and I'm not sure yet if it's accurate as I haven't found anyone that can ride right beside me... lol.

Could use GPS to compare speed readings.

Meanwhile, indicated 60 is often about 55, with lower speeds being slightly more accurate and higher speeds being wildly optimistic. 100 indicated is likely closer to actual 90.

Triumph has, or used to have, a fairly accurate speedometer.

Good Fortune!
