New Month , New Bike of the Month !!!
Welcome to Tyler Curran as our September BOTM !!!!
Tylers bike is our 1rst KZ1300 to be featured since BOTM was resurrected.
He purchased the bike for 800 Dollars and had to go thru the whole resto process to create this beauty.
Parts are scarce and time is valuable so this project took 5 years. Tyler started the project in college and single and finished graduated as a engineer , Married and has children so lots of action has been going on in this young mans life.
Tyler has been into bikes since he was 6 yr old on a Yamaha and the passion has grown ever since.
The 1300 motor needed pistons and headwork . Larry C helped out by doing his magic and Tyler did all the
motor and bike building his self
The KZ had sat for about 20 years so lots of TLC was needed to bring her back to life. Tyler has a 9 page build thread on KZR so look it up and follow the progress.
Welcome to being our September 2017 BOTM Buddy !!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet!

All that hard work Really turned into a thing of beauty...... Like the Mustang too.

Yes, Nice work! That is a Monster and a Rare Classic for sure! I hope you got credit hours for your Engineering Degree from that work! Better than any text book! (LOL) Hold on to that motorcycle! I'd look for parts on ebay to store and save for the future years.
Congrats!! Ride it safe!
I can't believe that Stunt Guy driving that big 6 cylinder on the drag strip and doing wheelies! I am sure you have seen that video floating around. For anyone else? Now This is F-ing Crazy!

NICE! Always wanted a 13, a good friend has one in back corner of his garage, it's been sittin' a few decades...

Nice bike! The thing I always loved about the 1300 is the sound. Engine is so understressed too. Very cool!

I was pleased to find such a nice 1300 to share with our membership..

Thanks all,

This wasn't a project I was looking for, word came to me about a guy that had a 1300, and I just wanted to see one in person. I bought it knowing there was going to be some serious work involved. Not the "cool" stuff like performance parts and trick wheels, just the boring everyday parts were going to be a challenge. The engine in this these really is something special, and beautifully made. If you ever have the opportunity to drive one, don't pass it up.


Dave,

Thanks for keeping BOTM alive and well. Always nice to see so many great motorcycles proudly displayed on the front page.

Keep up the good work man!
