I would be happy to race against that zx14 with my stock KZ650. I get to pick the road. ;)

It's good to see you are sticking with your project :woohoo: , It is just so cool to see the amount of thought and engineering/fabrication that went into this, just beautiful!!! I think you will really enjoy riding it when all is done. I am getting a lot of ideas from your build especially around the swingarm pivot you fabbed and the rear sets, many thanks!! .......and that is quite the back tire on your ZX....... :evil:

the chain line processing looks very nice,as does all the fab work.

glad to see you are still at it.

Yes thats a victory hammer it belongs to a friend of mine who brought it in for a chrome wheel swap, the zx14 is in for the fat tire kit, the only one that belongs to me is my pride and joy kz1000 , the space belongs to my friend who has been kind enough to give me an area to work. Thanks

Yes i agree , Thanks to a great friend i'v been able to keep this project going, I will keep the pics coming , I hope to be able to powder coat or give this frame paint in mid october .
I'd like to hear anyones thoughts on paint or powdercoat. I'v always powdercoated but i'v seen great results with paint.
