1978 kz1000 frame
Clip ons
Rear sets
Lots of cutting, grinding, welding
And so much more

Wish me luck, I'll need it

Rather than luck, happy fabricating. Man, I miss my forklift.

Got a nice big box of shiny new parts the other day. Fork Tubes, Rims, spokes, front spoked hub, top triple clamp (that doesn't have 2 bolts broke off in it) and new fork studs, seals and hardware. Laced up the front wheel, mainly just for practice, I'm not quite sure if I want to coat the spokes black yet or not.

Thanks gents! I'm waiting on my seat from airtech-streamlining (horrible customer service btw). My wheels and tires are ready good to go, my lights will be here wed. So after that I'll be able to mock everything up, then tear it all apart and powder coat!!!!
