Here's what I've been up to...

I joined this site a few years ago when I got my first bike -- a 1981 KZ550. Since then, I've gotten the bug BAD. Here's a link to a blog I just started. It's about all the bikes that I've been working on with my buds in the garage:

www.johnryland.posterous.com

Attached is one of them. A sweet '78 KZ650 that we put a GSX-R front end on. Came out great.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for posting Jayar. I read through your blog, and I like your work. Two questions on the bike in your attached image. How did you finish that gas tank? Also do you have any information on that exhaust? I have a similar looking pipe on my KZ1000, and I have no idea who made it.

Minimalist cut and larger front tire brings to mind 2010 HD Sportster 48.

Good Fortune! :)
