Beauty is in the ............



Reserve not Met

Maybe we should start a catalog of "customized" bikes.

Hey that look was pretty common at one time. I bet that bike is very comfortable on a long ride. With the right Mullet who knows?...Russ


I wonder what that tank is from?

Okay, so I'm an old fart. That seat looks pretty comfy to me if I'm going out touring. The tank... well it's not something I'd do to my bike but I've seen worse paint jobs on a bike. At least the shade of green is pleasing. Now I will say that "trident" sticking out the back is not to my liking and those supports for that trident are just way to beefy and ruin the sleek, classic lines of the KZ. I don't think that bike would take much work at all to be a spiffy ride I'd be proud of.

It looks like it's been rear ended and then the rear end was squashed. Still has possibilities but first is to shed that tombstone back light. It's not a Hurley.........

Whomever did the customization on this bike was a JC Whitney shopper. Most, if not all, of the custom parts are available through JC Whitney (great place for some things...)

Ebay Item 170311765276 Did you read the description? His wife is having 4th child and needs to sell or trade it for a mini van. West Virginia is where it is located. Highway pegs and all. This guy will have no escape from the wife and four kids now. Kind of sad....Russ

99% positive that's the stock CSR tank. Hard to see the original bike through the train wreck that it's become though so I allow myself the 1% margin of error.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh... my eyes..... :pinch: :pinch: :pinch: :X

Poor old girl, why oh why.... Somebody please buy this old girl and make her all purdy.....

Looks a lot like the tank that was on my 80 kz250....though that one looks like it holds more than 2.1 gallons! LOL!

I was thinking the tank looked like one from an Ltd 454.

That is just the stock tank that has had the emblem area filled. I have the same bike only in stock configuration. Great bike, I call mine old reliable, always starts and runs good.

That is a stock CSR tank.
