street tracker/ bastard kz650 build

I'm from indiana. I'm 20. I have a kaw. I'm doing some "minor mods" on. Thought i'd share with people that appreciate these jewels. 1977 kz650 c1. Picked up for $500 about 3 months ago.



first edition



forks needed upgrade

that's where i'm at with project "stella"
This is my 1985 fj1100 streetfighter
traded my first car for this diamond. Had wiring gremlins. No prob.


that wasn't floating my boat so i had to redesign.

this is where i'm at with "FJX The Punshier"

cheers,
justin

Looks great man! I love both you bikes.

What are you plans for the engine on the 650?

it's still up in the air. I may turbo, i may just punch it out and make the heads flow better.

we'll see

Yeah, I got turbo on da brain too, but am afraid of going too far and sacrificing reliability... We'll see. If I get another bike that I can rely on to ride whenever the KZ is down, I just might go for it!

exactly my thoughts. The fzr600r i have i DO NOT like to ride. i may trade that for another kaw or a cb. I want a cafe

the 16" front wheel makes the stance dive but it's just a mock up. I have a 17" and taller profile tire on it's way.

Looks sweet so far. Where did you get the front end and the swing arm from?

looking good. what's the seat / tail? cb900?

it's the stock tail cut down, and the seat is a fiberglass pan i made then shoved leftover foam and old vinyl stretched over. I'm going to cover it with a "worn" leather look

something like this

The forks(are backwards right now) they are 2001 gsxr1000. The rear tire is 190/50/17
