Cycleworld's Nick Ienatsch has a good write up right now of a KZ1000 project: www.cycleworld.com/story/blogs/ienatsch-...rbike-past-improved/
The end result looks terrific.

That's definitely the one. If you go to the "Categories" page, there are some great looking bikes and many of the parts referred to in the article. Looks like it's a works in progress, though. The engine links don't go anywhere yet.
