update: Almost finished with the bike, but there are still a few obvious things to do such as upholstering the seat and fixing the charging issues ect..

Really cool project. I hope one day to own a KZ Twin in either Tracker or Chopper mode. Any info on that tail light?

Thank you,

How tall are you 1slowkayzee?

I hear a lot about how the ace bars are uncomfortable without rear sets.

Do you find them uncomfortable?

I'm 6'1 and I have the clubman bars from DCC. I only have 4.5 miles on the bike currently since the charging system is broken and I am still looking for a replacement Stator. As soon as I get the bike running properly I will get back to you on how comfortable it is. I was too excited during my 4.5 mile trek to feel any pain lol.

Looks awesome.

I have Clubman bars on my bike and like them.
You have to try and not lean too much weight on your hands and arms, use your torso to support some weight, or your hands can get sore on long rides.

Thanks! It was a lot of work being my first bike and not knowing what to expect. I just got a call from the carb guy and my carbs have been succesfully jetted and tuned for pod filters. Somehow that only costed about $50 with parts and labor and runs perfect :)\

Nice job on the cafe build.

Here is my little 350cc with clubmans but I need some rear sets for it. Has a KZ440 rear rim and a KH500 triple tail and seat grafted on.

Kawickrice that is a clean ride man, I really like that! I am also very jealous of your rear rim. I am cursed with stockies that only allow me to run over-sized mountain bike tires :(
