April, Oh yeah, we are doing Daytona bike week, Leaving the evening of the 13th and I'm taking carbs and pipe in case I have issues with the turbo setup. I don't have weather here to test and pipe going out tomorrow for ceramic coating and it takes up to 10 days! Talk about crunch time!

I would definetly keep it, where the hell you going to find another one like it?
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Oh, we going to ride Dave!

As for selling it, "MONEY TALKS". I'd sell it and it's actually going to have a for sale sign on it in Daytona. I'll take the money and do another one. Like I said along time ago, I enjoy building probably more than riding.

Okay, I changed the dump pipe, I liked the big dump but like the added leg clearance more. ;)

that looks really sanitary.

are turbo bikes loud?

cause that looks like it would put it to where it would be echoing right into your helmet.

i know nothing about turbo bikes tho and that may not even matter.

keep up the good work sir.

and,

keep us posted.

They are loud only on boost. The turbo is a very good muffler and actually makes for a nice tone. I finally got a company to do the ceramic coatings in a tight time frame so I should be looking decent for Bike Week
Thanks Leon. I've not had a lot of time to spend on this thing lately.

Sure will Mike, I finally found a ceramic coater that can give me a quick turnaround on the pipes. I seem to be on the "hurry up" side of things lately. :P Finish the top end and test fire with carbs this weekend then knock out a couple jobs. We should be on schedule!
