I got me a kz! I bought a 1974 kz900 with a kz1000 motor in it. I been thinking the last few days on what i want it to look like and decided to go with the long low look. I am looking to buy a extended swingarm aluminum from a gsxr,zx12r, or whatever i get a deal on and mount a 200mm tire. I know i will have to have shock mounts welded on and use the brake set up on the swingarm that came with it. My question is will the chain line up ok, and has anyone did this on here.

Watch it folks,i have sticky fingers when it comes to a nice looking set of handle bars:)

If the frame is a 74 it would be a Z1. If you hack the frame up you will catch some grief from some. Its your bike do what you want with it but get ready for the comments about hacking a Z1 frame. Some people would pay good money for that frame. My 2 cents

anything is possible but youre opening up one hell of a can of worms with that project,what are you using for a motor to turn that pig of a wheel ?

Spend the $100 and get a 77-78 kz1000 frame and cut to your hearts desire. Save the 74 frame for a resto.

Anyone have any idea where i can see some pics of kz's with what i want to do to mine? I plan to do the work myself, it's not my first time wrenching on a ol bike. I just never got into offset sprockets and stuff of that nature. I have tossed the ol gs swingarm's on and lowered em and stuff like that. I want a bike that is going to be different than most around here.
