Thrown together to ride til winter

Looking good so far. I would like to stumble upon a Z1 someday. You will have to let me know how you like the struts. I have been wanting to lower my kz750, but am not sure about going hardtail.

How much lower did that make it? And did you had to press in new bushings to fit the kz?

i'm thinkin about 2 inches had the fender on it an still didn't rub 2 up i'm about 170 my girls is about 130 (mostly in her boobs lol) dont quote me on it had a guy tell me the springrate was stiffer on the shorter shocks because they are for lighter bikes or whatever I'm ADD and I started thinking about pullin the cabs off and kind of tuned him out

see the ADD thing yeah I swapped the bushing out of my KZ shocks. I think I only changed 2 but I could be wrong took me bout 20 minutes with a socket hammer and a screwdriver lol

Ok so know I am in primer have my chrome goodies new bars and Yes The Dyna came in as I mentioned I live 50 miles from my bike so it would be the weekend before i hear it run or until I at least until i find the next problem carbs havent been off yet at minimum to be cleaned. My theory is fix one Problem at a time if you take everything apart work on it put it back together if you have a problem then you have too start from square one. (thats just my theory I still label my pluwires)



No paint yet so I painted and assembled the gauges on the triple trees replace all the bulbs. find some cool grips on ebay polish and paint the master cylinder I got from my buddies leftovers. dug out my airbrush set my art table up played with a few designs wow I remember myself being way better at it.



its almost I am getting excited it's possible June is a slam dunk!

That Dyna-S in the box looks familiar! I just put one of those on my 750 about 2 days ago! LOL!

how hard was it to do?

Camaroguy, my girl has a friend at the county clerks office she says they can run an out of state polish check So you might ask them at your courthouse to do that she also said to go to the circuit court judges office they have a form you fill out and the judge can give you legal ownership then its just a matter og applying for a title hope that helps

@gengomerpyle: The instructions made it fairly easy. I was switching from stock electronic ignition to Dyna-S, so I'm not sure how much more might be involved switching from points. It shouldn't be bad either way though.

i want to switch from stock electronics someday down the road.
did you have to do any rewiring?
