Changing rear end style?
02 Mar 2011 07:52
Hey i have a 1980 Kz 750 4 and id like to change the rear end style of it, ive seen many cut and shortened that look cool but i do not want to cut the frame. if any one has an suggestions or done anything like this feel free to leave feedback. Ive seen just even smaller seats that make it look better. Let me know thankss

I have recently done that to my old KZ650 I removed the lower chrome mudguard, relocated the light onto the frame under the rear cowling and remodelled the seat from a two seater to single cafe seat design. it will be interesting to see how it goes with the guard removed but there is a plastic guard still in there under the seat area.
I am pleased with the new look and have removed afair bit of weight from the bike.
Cheers
