Yea...many more pictures and many more details. You can't post enough of them so go crazy. That looks fantastic. Whatcha do to the engine? How long is the arm? Stuff like that. Lots of guys on here have inquiring minds and want to know.

Well as you can tell the bike was once a dragbike that was sent out to die, The motor is a 1327 big block 12.5 to 1 pistons jugs are shimmed so the can still use a push button start,, Z4 cams ported head I think it has 38.5 by 32 vales , welded crank, lock up clutch 34mm flat slides, 8 inch over swingarm, pm wheels, 180 back tire ,pingle controls for the key and start button, Beasley front and back fenders, onboard air comp for my air shifter , I had the frame powder coated ,other than that I done everything my self, and alot of sweat (from me) and tears (my wife) he he , the bike ran mid 9s with slick and bars.. now its fun to ride around and play with the Harley boys !! I have rode it to bike nites that are 30 miles away and it rides pretty nice for what it is.

Love it!
License plate says it all. Must be a wild pony to ride!

How do the shocks work being laid back like that? Have you tried foot shifting it at high rpm's with the lock-up? Will it shift or do you have to let off the throttle before you can shift? Really like this bike.

The shocks I think work good for being laid back, the shifting at high rpms? to tell you the truth I haven't tried to shift with foot when runnig hard.

That is the look I'm going for on my bike. Too bad it will take me two years to get there.

Very nice bike. I'll bet it could tighten up any loose teeth with just a twist of the wrist.

The only thing I would do is put the tank and side cover emblems back on.

They might need to be customised somewhat to match the paint and polished parts, but I say let the world know it is a Kawasaki. Say it loud, say it proud...when you are stomping some of the other bike brands.

Good job.

The ingnition cover says kawasaki it takes them awhile to figure out, but thats the way I like it . thanks
