Maybe my last project like this

It always seems like there are parts laying around. Between me and my friend who goes on buying sprees we have parts. Or at least I do since he has sold his 4 bikes I built. So I got the left over parts in exchange to getting his 65?  Matchless running.
So I have been looking at a titled 76 KZ900 LTD frame on ebay for 3 years. Of course he wanted to much for it so I gave him a reasonable offer. Since it's a 76 KZ and I have a tank set for the 73-75 I needed to change the side cover tabs and battery box mounts to accept the tank set.  So this is the start before it goes to the powder coaters. This is a complete from scratch build. I saved all those mounts from a frame I had that was hacked up into a chopper thing. On that bike I kept the engine, carbs and rear wheel and turned it into black beauty.. This build will have the European green / yellow paint.

 


 

 



 

You’ve got my attention:)

I wish I had half the garage space you have. I am envious. 

I know what you mean about having a few spare parts to use up.  I'm currently doing a KZ650 and will be using my spare Z1 stuff...forks, shocks, gauges, etc.  But I'll keep the original sidecovers and tank.

HRM share some pics with us of your project 

its amazing how many parts are interchangeable between different models
i'm going to keep an eye on this one
