$150 kz1000 build

very cool color, looks like a british racing green? Anywho looks great, keep us informed on those gpz calipers, i got a set off of a gpz 900, for my z1, just waiting for them in the mail.

V&H makes a nice 4/1 exhaust system. BTW...nice find.

got some pics of it with the tank on

Very nice score!!! I'll take all the $150 MKll's you can find...if you need sidecovers Beasley Composites in Ohio still make them- last set I bought were about $75 for the pair. You'll have to figure out mounting as they don't have the oem tabs but way cheaper than EBay or salvage.

I have a set off a shaft drive that I think will fit perfectly. Holler if you want them. I'll make you a good deal on them. I have a tank too..

thanks, i was happy with how the colour turned out. its british raing green. done from a rattle can with auto paint in it ($20 a can at sherwin williams). and cleared and all. i have a kerker kr race pipe im putting on it, wrapped black with a super trapp muffler. anyone got an idea about what jetting i should start with? its also got pod filters.

i also made an under seat pan for the electrical so i can run it with no side panels. but i want to get them so i can ride it with them on also if i choose to

almost fully assembled. put on the carbs and the full pipe. my exhaust pipe consistes now of a black wrapped Kerker KR race pipe, and a very old MAC muffler with racing baffles. i did some pinstriping on the tank that turned out looking really good. i removed the center stand and all the electrics from under the seat where the airbox was. so its see through there. the bike is really looking like something else. i will have pics up later this week.

Give me a call this week and I'd love to come over and take a look at it, Matt

Looks like its coming along great!

took this pic last night.

got it out off of the porch yesterday. rejetted it rode it around a bit. rides like a dream. tons of power. breaks the tire loose at a whim. this is my first kz and the torque is phenomenal. it handles very very light.

Looks good!

Mines made up of a Kerker header, and a GSXR Ti can thats gutted and sleeved with a custom mid-pipe and flange that I made. I had to cut the can apart and re-weld it to gut it tho.
