I think it looks awesome!!! I like the big cruiser look and it's refreshing to see a non V-twin one! Plus you still have KZ performance. It looks like you bought a lot of Harley parts. How about a list of the parts you added and any frame mods?

If someone would have described this bike to me without pics I would have rolled my eyes and shrugged, but having seen the pics I gotta say that ride looks very impressive. I like the steer horn bars and the colors but most importantly I like the engine tucked into the frame.

It would be fun to put a stump pulling big-bore in that ride and smoke some modern sport bikes caught napping:)

Good job.

I really like the way it's turning out. Now I'm wondering what it would go for on E-bay.

What do you think?

That KZP looks great, i like the paint too.
Mind if i ask a couple questions?

Im new to the board, but i bought a cop bike myself a few months ago and just decided to change the look a week or so ago. I was originally going to go with the roadking front lighting, so i was suprised to see your bike so well done, but i decided (mostly after pricing parts) to buy as few harley parts as possible.

I like the way your seat looks, especialy with that tank, and i was just wondering if it was any narrower than the stock seat? i like the tractor seat style, but with the front fairing gone, that stock seat looks about three sizes too big for the bike, and hangs over the sides of the bike like stubby wings. yours looks better, but i cant tell if its actualy narrower, or if it just fits in better with that wider tank.

would you mind sharing how you mounted that back fender? very involved process? really looks cleaner.

I dont want you to give up your secrets, just currious, and it might give me a bit better idea of whats possible.

just my opinion,
i liked it in the before pic.
like i said, my opinion.
you asked for them.
but i got to admit, you did a fine job on it!
now go with what collin said and build the sh@t out of it and teach some youngens :evil:
btw,
don't sell it!
sell the leftover parts on e-bay and enjoy your one of a kind.
looks real good though!
someday i will be able to afford my kz habit.
