80 KZ750 bob/chop project in the Netherlands

07 Jul 2013 15:53

hey guys,
bought an LTD from my cousin. 22.000 miles, technically in good shape.
Took the sawzall and I am halfway.
Still need to make extra gussets on the frame because i cut out the 2 sidetubes on the triple backbone. ( needed a better stance for the tank )

thanks for looking!
Marcel

Your Bike, but that is another for the "wasted bike file"

IMHO

i know what you mean; it was a neglected bike in the first place; wasn't a nice original, otherwise i wouldn't have cut it up.
Friend of mine builds chopperframes and he is gonna strenghten the frame. It will get new tubes, but they will be placed a little lower, so the sportster tank can stay on like this.
