I think he left the site. Some people thought he was the greatest when he first posted this and other post, but time has a way of bringing out the truth. A few people got tired of his know it all attitude, telling them whats right and whats wrong, and acting like he knows everything,and some confronted him about these projects that never get finished. He hasnt posted anything since then.
If you look at the day he first posted this, you'll see that it has taken him over 4 months to get to the point that he is at and its still not finished and it doent look like it will be finished any time soon.
Heres one of his other projects that he started and never finished yet.If you search the site you will find a few others that he got started and were never finished.

I watched this thread when it first started to see how it would look when finished. I hasnt been finished and doent look like it will be finished any time soon.
I like this quote and I think its appropriate:
Dont tell me what your going to do, show me what you've done.

Just as a point I have not left the site. I just don't post much cause I have tons of shit going on right now, and have better things to do with my time than post in here. Also, I've found another forum where the discussion is strictly about modification and home fabrication of parts which is a little more up my alley than KZR.
Oh, and Fish, you should educate yourself before you talk, cause it's seems that once again you simply don't know what the hell you are talking about.
The clutch cover and tank can be finished at any time. It's a matter of cutting some material and welding the tank.
Not that I
have to explain this to you for any reason, but I will take the time to.
The KZ Cafe I am working on is getting the big bore engine I'm building for it. The engine was definitely not going to be done in time to ride this month or this spring for that matter, so I am riding my other KZ.
That way I don't have to rush on getting the rest of the bike together to ride it.
Now, tell me why a person like me should feel like I need to rush and get a tank and clutch cover done when there's no engine for the bike yet anyhow? First things first kiddo.
Frame/Chassis mods are the first step to building a custom bike because obviously if you don't have a chassis there's no point in having a bunch of other crap to put on it, right?
The frame is welded and the rear end is mounted. All I need is the proper bearings and the front end will be mounted.
The big bore engine is something I will get around to whenever I feel like it, and frankly I'm more into the idea of spending a few weeks riding since it's 80 and sunny here in Minneapolis now.
When the engine is built to the specifications I want it to I'll spend the couple hours it will take to cut and edge some polycarbonate for the cover and weld the tank.
Frankly guy, this is my project bike and the last thing I feel compelled to do is rush things so that a bunch of people who I don't really know, or care to know, on the internerd approve of the pace at which I work.
So next time you feel like talking about things you should maybe take the time to figure out whats really going on before sharing your "insight", okie?
