I'm new for this site and I read all of this project. Cool stuff! So I try some parts on my KZ650LTD. It is GSXR front end, bolt rite on like its made for it. In back some Ninja swing arm and it need bushing bore bolt and about 1/4" spacers on sides, between frame and swing arm. Than going to weld tabs on sides for two shocks which going to be from ZRX.

Hello, Voxa_33, and WELCOME to KZrider! :cheer:

But your interesting project's likely to get lost mingled here in D.Nel928's thread.

Would recommend starting a new topic for your KZ650LTD, which should elicit more and better responses.

Good Fortune! :)

Picked up the 750 motor today, it being free I didn't expect much. I was right... Hoping I can save the cylinders and pistons, if not I'll be doing an 810 kit :)

That definitely looks like a candidate for a Wiseco kit my man. this is a sweet little KZ you are building. I can't wait to build my garage to get my 650 back in my hands and finish it. It has been too long. Good work and keep the pics coming!

Thanks! Believe it or not the cylinders and pistons came out fine lol! I was quite shocked, but she will be staying 750 for now. I am however sending the head to Larry to get rebuild and opened up a bit. Might throw in a set of cams as well since I have a set of VM28ss carbs going on it.

Picked up a set of carbs today, along with pistons and jugs. Kinda happy about the carbs!

Anyone able to ID these? ;)
