Custom KZ1000 Police

This is my not only my father's first project, it is his first motorcycle. Period.

Yessir, I have gobs of them. I will post more here real soon. Any part of the process you're interested in specifically?

As a matter of fact, yes.
I've been playing around with a updating a Z1, but never considered a cop bike. Yours turned out real nice.

1. What if any mods had to be done for the swingarm to fit on the KZ1000P frame? (Not the mono shock mounts)
2. What did you have do for the duck bill (tail piece) to fit?
3. How is it and the seat mounted?

Hey I just realized those are AZ plates. Where are you guys at? I'm in East Mesa almost AJ.

That's a whole lot nicer than what I was expecting! :woohoo:

Your in the same area as my buddy Joe. He owns www.kingarmory.com/
I lived next to him in Phoenix years ago, but moved back to the Midwest because of all the crazy things I seen while working as a armed guard. I bet the crips I had at gunpoint one night will never forget me either. lol Good times! :evil:

Very cool! How much lower than stock is it?

i am soo stoked to see someone use the kz tail and seat on a cop bike.
it just looks soo fookin right!!!

thanks for that i will be showing this bike to everyone that has a cop bike and don't like the cop seat and rear fender.

thanks for posting,

1. Swinger was just customs bushings and notching the frame to allow the chain to be in a straight line. Only other thing that was special was a stepped out front sprocket to align itself with rear sprocket to account for the 190 tire.

2. Duck bill was pretty straightforward. Once we chopped the frame in the rear, you could easily place the duckbill on the frame and slide it forward or back to try and get the best look. (See pic)

3. See pic.

You know, I'm not quite sure how much lower it is but it's pretty low. It's got a great look but the exhaust has scraped on hard left banks. We are already sourcing some pipe to make our own exhaust to fix the issue.

i noticed the m-unit .
how hard was it to hook up and get working?
how do you guys like it?
i am currently saving for one for a custom project i am building.
