yeah his bike has all the tricks that mine dont hahaha. it is a 1979kz1000 LTD. it has a complete 2000 Suzuki Bandit1200 front end, a Bandit1200 swingarm that has been extended eight inches and has been polished out, the front and rear wheels are 2000 Bandit1200 aslo with polished lips. the rear wheel is a 17x5.5 and has a 190 tire on it.

the frame has been raked seven degrees and has been braced. it has a tank that is hiden under the seat and plastic. it is sunk in the inner wheel well(the part uyou see when you flip up the seat)used for a air shifter that is soon to be put on. the tank is the small peanut style tank. the rear chrome fender has been push back a couple of inches. has the same custom chain gard as my bike. the seat has been customized with a bar welded in, it runs across the inside of the steped part to keep you from sliding back. the crash bars have been cut down in size some and rechromed.

he is runing the pipe i would give my right nut for by the way... it ia a older murry 4-1 racing header. it attached to a 1979 kz1000ltd that has a 1200 piston kit, .429 cams,over sized valves, heavey duty racing springs,big port job on the head, all the stock internals have been repaced with racing application parts such as cam chain gears, sprockets, roolers ect... the crank has been balanced and welded. the trans has been backcut and has new gears. the clutch is a mre slider clutch. there is a set of Mukuni 40mm RS carbs feeding the motor. the oil pan has been gated. a older oil cooler is install at the moment. most of the engine cover are chrome.

as for the electronics like most of us he is runing dyna coils. it also has a Dyna4000 Pro ignition with a built in two step. a dyna shift light is right above the gauges. all of the controls and brake set up is from the Bandit1200. on boad compresser and tank is all there waiting for the rest of the airshifter parts to be put on.

well that about all that i can think of for the moment.....

Hows them 40`s run?I`m building a 1200 w/38 flatslides. just wondering if i should try 40`s or not? Ask your dad if he knows any difference.

before he got the 40 he was running 36's. but i can see what hes got to say about it.

man my fathers kz1000 put mine to shame. i cant belive it has not got more attention here than it has.

still sitting here going wow....... outta my league but a nice build........
