KZ1000P14 Project was created by Ruff
Hello KZRiders,
I'm about to embark on a KraZee KZ project. I plan on converting my Cop bike to a Street Tracker. Wrenchmonkees being the source of inspiration. The following images are of various transformations the bike has been through.

Two Years Ago (After Complete Rebuild)


One Year Ago


Present




And finally,
The Inspiration





I will do my best to update when possible. I look forward to all your comments and ideas.

Thank you,
Ruff

No significant work done yet on this project, but I have started gathering parts.
So far I have acquired:

1) Emgo Daytona Touring h/bar
(Width 29" Rise 4" Pullback 6.5" Center Width 4.75", Z1E)

2) Emgo cushion grips (Z1E)


3) 1980 KZ1000 LTD front pegs and brackets (Ebay)


4) Cat-Eye tail light (in transit, Ebay)


We have realized that the foot peg brackets will have to be modified.

I think the toughest challenge is procuring a headlight. Here is my criteria:

1) 4 1/2-5 3/4" Diameter
2) Bottom-mount
3) H4 compatible or other dual filament (max. 65w, yellow beam preferred for those frequented unlit back roads)
4) Non-chrome
5) <$40

I'm also looking for an "un-dated" solution to protect the motor in a fall. Presently the footboards do a hell of a job at this. The titanium in me will confirm.

More updates will follow.
Thank you,
Ruff
