That thing is insanely cool, I would have never guessed it was a kaw.

here is a shot of the header/kickstand that I hand wrapped! This bike had clip ons, cafe bars, straight bars and apehangers. I constantly change up the look every year.
The tank is alluminum and is attached under the back bone.

I'd leave it and build something else easier on the back, that thing is special

+1.

Cool bike, it would be a shame to change it.

Well thank you gentlemen for the compliments! I plan on keeping the frame and all of the stuff I do not use. My son wants to put it back together someday but he is only 15 and I already got him a '82 Yamaha that we are remodeling.
The rigid is the only bike I currently own at this time so I need someting to ride for the upcoming flood run in MN. I don't think I can source out a decent motor to just drop into the frame without going over budget a.ka. Wife.:P
