This is the odd ball story of a free bike and a strange misson to restore it.
I recieved this bike as a "gift" to get it out of a guys way. I brought it home with the full intention of parting it out on e-bay (you almost got to bid on some of this)

Screw the "here is how I did it" Story, Its late and I'm tired. I thought I wanted it white for a while. But that just didn't cut it. kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_ponygal...&func=detail&id=1128

So I did away with the white and

So I went "Back in Black" (Thanks AC/DC) kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_ponygal...&func=detail&id=1123

But I still wasn't through. (gotta love free bikes, if you get bored rip it up and start over again )
And that led to the latest incarnation.

It now is an 83 KZ750 twin sporting a tank off of a Suzuki of some kind that was made during some year (hey it looks good and free with no leaks)
A set of HD sportster footpegs (again year unknown)for the driver, A 2000 HD Dyna seat and mufflers (can't beat free stuff) a mirror that just showed up in the garage. And other crap from some other bikes that I can't remember @ this time.
If you should make the wise decision and decide to come to the Vintage motorcycle races @ the Barber motorsports park In Birmingham Alabama in October it will be there. No not racing or being shown but probably being restrained by the police in the parking lot.

I love the final product. You've come a long way, baby.

Nice bike! Turned out nice. But are you sure that HD seat can handle all that KZ power?

Welllllll it is holding up fine so far. Of course I had NO oil leaks on it until I put all the harley D stuff on it. A friend of mine commented today that if the bike was still in production today it would probably look a lot like what mine does.

Looks great! Not bad for free...

Well the "Screaming Flaming Kawasaki of Death" (I'm working on a copyright and t-shirts) got an honorable mention in the "What the hell is it supposed to be" category at a local bike show over the weekend.
It just goes to show that if you can't impress'em then you can at least confuse'm.

Oh yeah truth be known that was a special category they invented just so I would put in the show.
It was the only one that category and still only got an honorable mention. But the $10.00 went to a good cause.

Congrats. Looks good.

Bump, just trying out how this new board works on bringing old files back up.
