KZ1300 Finished at last

That "Streetfighter" is EVIL! Your going to need a "car tire" to plant the power! Awesome! Both bikes are really "off the hook!"

Really nice job. Sounds like you did it the right way.

No it was just a king and queen seat I bought off eBay, a friend of mine re stuffed it and recovered it, I have to say its probably the most comfortable seat I have ever had on a bike.

EVIL is exactly the look Im going for, hopefully with the much stiffer frame, ZX12 forks and Hayabusa rear shock it will go round bends too.

I love the "standard" 1300 - very nice job!

Looking forward to see the Fighter develop as well!

How are you modifying the rear wheel to take the shaft drive?
I have a ZL1000 - which has shaft drive and want to fit a modern wider rear rim to it. So an idiots giude (with photos) would be awesome if you could do that!

Good Job on the KZ1300 Resto Zed. That takes dedication and deep pockets! I hope you get many many years of riding out of her. I own a 80 KZ1300 Sports Touring model and currently it is stripped of it's touring package and configured as a basic street cruiser - sans signal lights and rectangular headlight. I'll be installing the touring package back on the KZ after the mechanical work is completed. Tuned it up and upgraded the carb with a stage One kit, and Pods. Test drove her and discovered the charging system needed repaired. Stator is shorted out and is now on its way to be rebuilt. But I must say that anyone who has never ridden a KZ 1300, it is an experience!

WOW That thing is going to be a real Monster. I love it that you're taking parts from various different vehicles and making them work together. That is going to be one awsome machine. I just saw an article in (I believe) cycle world magazine that compared the KZ1300 with a few other six cylinder bikes and they were very impressed with the KZ. I've got my eye on one that's been sitting in a neighbors yard for a few years now.... Maybe some day. Please continue with the pictures. I can't wait so see how it turns out.
Thanks for sharing,
