The bike as seen in the pic is so light we didn't even use a ramp to unload it from the pickup, he and I just picked it up and sat it on the ground. We wouldn't even attempt that with a 750 twin

i like the kz650 with the J motor, it is made of win!

I traded him the 1000 CSR (in Omaha), APE adjustable cam sprockets, GPz1100 throttle bodies, and the 1100 block with Wiseco 1105 pistons for his extra 750 motors and parts. I figure that if he gets the head ported by LarryCavan, installs some MegaCycle or APE 410 cams, fuel injects it with a MegaSquirt, the thing ought to be able to flip completely over backwards in 1st and 2nd gear with stock (KZ650) gearing. I don't believe there will be any problem with traction, that rear tire is a 180 and really sticky.

I suggested he name the bike "Oh Sh*t!!"

Yep, that's SBJones's former bike, he did the front and rear install, not us. And it's slated for the J motor with a 1105 kit. By the way, that thing felt so light I just had to put it on the scales, 300 lbs the way it sits in the pic I'm guessing near 425 lbs with the J motor and ready to ride.
I have already told my Nephew that he can't ride the KZ650 with the J motor in it until I ride it and verify it's reasonably safe, and he is already figuring out the frame reinforcement issues.

That BobCat will do the job, but the seatbelt is a requirement, otherwise it's likely to pitch you out on your nose. The big ones are a lot easier to operate, but I hauled this one home in the bed of my 1/2 ton pickup, like to see someone else try that with say, a Bobcat 863 or 873 :

I think I'm going to ask $3000 for the BobCat, figure it ought to sell pretty fast at that price.

After I am done with it of course (couple more weeks maybe)

By the way fired up my 750 twin and the Nephew's KZ650/GPz750 tonight. The KZ650 has what I believe to be a Kerker with no baffle on it, painful on my ears, got a real "crack" to the exhaust note. It probably won't be as bad when it's outside. Had ignition problems we had to sort out, ended up installing a KZ750 ignition on it.<br><br>Post edited by: steell, at: 2007/05/27 23:57

actually have 2 in differant locations when you get here;)

I see you have been busy Steel .. Good for you Hows the garage coming ??? Looks like you need it bad .. WoW lots of stuff going at your place

Two bikes are out of there now, we just finished the 79 KZ750B tonight, it fired right up and I took it for a test drive, it ran perfect (but it needs a 17 tooth front sprocket)

I'm riding it to work in the morning.

We will be back to working on the garage/shop after I get home from work, now that we have some room to move

Ya that bike fired right up no struggling what so ever and the gas that it fired up on was at least 9 months old and few months later it would have been trying to start on varnish:laugh: I think it is a really good looking bike. The bike has a fairing from a 750E model that we put on and it looks really good on the twin! When he was coming back from the gas station (about a mile away)I saw him, I didn't here him until quarter of a block away so the bike is pretty quiet compared to mine:laugh:

Cool projects! What color is the KZ650 in the first pic called? Love it! Regards Doug

Bikes are looking great, looks liek you are going to be tied up for a while with projects how is the workshop coming? Are the machine tools up and running.
Which ones are destined for fuel injection?

My 750E and GPzInfested's GSXR suspended KZ650/?? are the EFI candidates. My 750E for sure when I build the next motor for it, and probably his whenever it gets a motor

ok, you are not married are you, my wife would kill me if I had that many projects and not working around the house;)
