My buddy, signed up on here as Timzgarage, got a smokin' deal on a pair of KZ650's, a B and a D model. The baby blue D got torn apart as it just struck Tim as a total death trap, then he crashed it doing a speedy rolling burnout and said, "This bike is DONE!!"
:LolLolLolLol:
After some gratuitous beer drinking, some arguing, and a bunch of wrenching, we have ourselves a BEAST of a "Drag Fighter" as the tail angle isn't done, it's since had DAUL disk brakes put up front on the spoked wheel, and it's going to be re-sprayed with factory orange/red B model paint.
Dude, bad thing is she's justa sittin' there again. By the time I get the race bike ready, finish Barby (ahem you need to go here... http://forums.kz650.info/index.php?topic=3352.msg40129#new) mom's scooter fixed & start on Bonnie's surgery it'll probably be closing in on next spring.
Now the idear I have in my head is a straight up stripped down road burner with out a damned comfort or convenience on her. There wouldn't be any off roading nonsense on her, too heavy for me. GPz suspension, bright red & holy shit loud.
You's across the pond right Robbo? That's gonna be some hellacious shipping unless you happen to have a really good friend with a small aircraft & time to kill.... :rock:
You may have seen my bike on this site before, but here are the most recent pics of my '84 Z1300 injection (they were actually called the ZG1300). It's just had a full engine rebuild & full new custom-made exhaust system (6 into 2 with balance pipe & stubby cans) in stainless. Also a different headlight; the jury's out on that one, but it's growing on me, maybe it's because it's such a departure from the style of headlight I had on it before, may have to play with it's mounting position:
So... I snagged some spy shots with my crappy cell phone camera in crap lighting. But it doesn't change the fact that this KZ is nearly 1600cc's, develops nearly 1700hp on nitrous, and burns GASOLINE. Banned from funny bike in the 80's, here it sits.
I do recall saying I am privy to cool shit, this is a good example.
Hopefully, I'll get a decent camera and get the lights on in the shop and snag some more detailed pics of the beast.
Oh, and it IS fuel injected, and that is two plugs per cylinder.
I see tha potential fer sure! Always isa big step ta rippem apart and start tha big change.
Jus a front tyre will change tha look loads!risers ,bars all will bring it together.Itsa KZ ya caint go wrong
you and i should start a club! i've got the same cross breed going on with mine. '81 kz440 with forks/brakes off an 07 gsxr750, and front wheel/rotors off an 05 zx6r. soon to be rear wheel off a '10 250ex as well.
