winter project 75 kz400

Picked up this 75 in pieces but a very good start engine has been taken apart and cleaned. The frame has been painted also and started to be chopped.
Going to have a lot of questions as this goes on as I haven't owned one of these before. Have owned a 78 cb125s and a 75 cb350f so I'm not totally lost but those needed minimal work.

I have already posted about my forks but i am now wondering about the passenger foot peg supports i want to cut them off. Has anyone chopped these ? any tips would be great.

anyways heres some photos and thanks in advance.

Does it run?


.

currently it does not but it does look like it should factory odometer shows just 6000 miles and PO said it ran when he took it apart he was a heavy duty mechanic.

Does it now?


.

Good starting point. Have fun!

It ran perfectly when I parked it.

Good looking start, I've seen and brought way worse brought back to life.
