Possibly the Best Looking KZ Chopper Ever? was created by 79MKII

I think this is the best looking "chopper" with a KZ engine I've seen. I actually kind of like this one! I'd like to have some kind of chain guard on there though :ohmy: Check it out:

I would ride that until my kidneys exploded... which might not take long. Awesome bike, not tacky at all.

WOW! Kinda looks like all they did was rake it and bob the tail! Nice job tho! Might be kinda hard to handle! KZ's got some power and that much meat seems as if it would spin out in a corner!

Where do you put your left foot so it won't get torn up by the drive train?

I wasn't crazy about that open chain either, but I guess the forward controls MIGHT keep you out of trouble...

OK, a chopper I WOULD ride, nice.

Sure it looks OK now, but wait until I really make it pretty, with some chrome and paint and some new tires and grips and the wiring. Don't forget the gearing, and the LED's and, and, and....

All that work and he didn't even freshen up the lotor? Hmm. I also don't like the jackshaft. You can fit a 250 in without a jackshaft. Just need to use a support bearing thinggy and a few minor frame mods.

I like the way he integrated the neutral and other lights into the tank. maybe not the safest idea.
