Japan KZ custom site

Here is a couple of sites I thought would be interesting to someone like me. I am always looking for any picture our information about KZ. This is from a custom shop in japan that specialize in kawasaki from the 70's

Nice bikes, wonder why for the most part none of the builds are mono-shock?

I would guess that it's much easier to stick with the twin shocks on bikes that are originally equipped that way. I can't think of an example of a KZ that got adapted to a mono-shock that didn't need a total re-think of the battery box and electrical systems mounting. Plus the twin Ohlins do look the part on those bikes. Notice that they usually stay with conventional forks as well.

Retaining the twin shocks and conventional forks is pretty much universal with Japanese builders.

works pretty well in nebraska also! :laugh:

Those bikes look amazing!

the second or third one in on the second link (youll know which one im talking about) was pretty "out there" but i think it was a cool concept.
