Info for my chop

I am starting a custom job on my 78 650SR D. I would like to get about 10-15 deg. and 4"-6" longer forks, a full chrome rear fender with modified brake light and turn signals, possible hard tail conversion/lowering, a single saddle seat and forward foot controls. Anyone who has done any of this or knows about it, please fill me in. All help is much appreciated.

Give us some before pics!

here are a few pics of her taken down to the frame

Nice try, but I want to see it before it was stripped.

I just finished exactly what you described, with the addition to putting a 16 inch 130 on the rear. The bike looks pretty good, a little heavy in the middle, so I would like to change the tank. Last issue for me is modifying the pipes. I saw a couple of threads on it, but nothing really specific.

Back to you and yours, I went with ten degrees on the triple, a local shop did it for $250.00, and 5 inches extra on the forks, chromed out everything I could, and blacked out the engine, all lights modified with parts from a salvage yard.

Biggest hurdle is when you add length to the front, none of the cables or hoses fit, some trial and error, some custome work, and a lot of catalogs and you will find the parts.

Hey good luck with the project. I am doing some of what you want except I am not raking the frame at all. Below is a picture of where my frame is currently at. It is a 79' KZ650
