Why did you go for a project?

Cause nobody makes what I want and I don't trust other peoples work.

What was your motive(s)?

I would go f**cking crazy without a project to keep me busy in the winter!!

what baldy110 said :evil: .

I wanted something that looked Old Skool but diddn't twist in the frame,
Had good suspension, Brakes and grip!

so i began my build:

Starting out with a Zephyr would have been far easier - but perhaps less satisfying?

Always wanted to, never found a bike that ..."had it all"...and besides,I like making stuff

1. I've always wanted a KZ1000.
2. I've had good results moding other motorcycles.
3. Modern suspension and brake parts are very cheep.
4. Old Kawasaki's have great engines, but everything ealse is very dated.

Are there pics of your bikes?

I rolled up to Scottsdale for AZ Bike Week a few Saturday nights ago into a sea of $30K+ Harleys. My bike grew a crowd quick. I've owned Ninjas, Ducatis, CBR's... This is something so few have and I love the attention.

I have just as much fun riding this as my last Ducati S2R1000. Not as powerful but the same overall feeling

Here are a few photos. The first 3 are of my YZF, it is my commuter.







This is my KZ, triples and gas cap, clutch and ignition covers, Zephyr swingarm, frame bracing, and ZRX shocks,and YZF600 forks and monoblock calipers with the stock KZ wheel.















The last photo is a friends STD. I did the CNC parts and helped with the design work.

I started out with a zephyr.
Well! half the frame anyhow :lol:
It wasn't easy but it is satisfying

Fascinating to look at all the details, thanks for sharing. That Honda ST is fully sick!
