i think this is the rite place for this, so here goes: its a 1980 kawasaki kz1000 ltd, o.g. crotch rocket from back in tha day. i got it bone stock except the pipe 4yrs ago with the tank dented up. painted it, and rolled like that for 2 1/2 years and then i got the swingarm, airshifter, back rim came off a honda cbr600f4, gsxr750 rear axle, drag bars, tail lite and some other random stuff from ebay, dennis kirk, and stuff. just got the seat recovered a month ago. tore it apart last june, got it back 2getha by august. i got alotta build up pics and and i made alota stuff for it, but i just realized i cant add attachments so ill try and do it some other way. the only other plans i got for it now are a big motor, swap a new front end maybe, chrome, and maybe a new set of wheels. first bike i owned, first bike im building, and of course, first bike i dropped :lol:
ps: icant seem to upload all the pics at once, i have like 6-7 to upload, but its not happenin

thanks for the compliments, are there any other old skool rides here or just mostly new stuff?

 

[929_RUI]

i really like your bike! :dthumb:

my dad has an 82 kz1000, which was the first streetbike i ever rode, i love those things!

thats a sweet shot from the rear. nice.

since you put a f4 rear rim, maybe you should update with a new front end off a newer sportbike?? some inverted forks??

 

[dnyce]

:iagree: lol, im working on it 929, the funds are just lackin

 

[DLIT]

You should paint the front fender to match. :2cents:

There's def some old school rides kickin around, but mostly newish-new. A couple chopper heads too (GMan and Jeeps)

 

[dnyce]

i thought the same thing, but that style fender looks better chrome imo, but even if i dont change the forks, id change the wheel and fender to somthin new. id paint that fender(the new 1)

Yeah I got here... I start from the oldest and work my way up...

Nice bike man!

Alot of nice work. I would love to see some more pics of this thing!

I love the swingarm and the rear tire. Some inverted forks and a match front rim would be a nice touch as well, with the painted front fender. The anti-chrome fender would look a bit nicer!

Do they make any dress up attachments for the motor? Or maybe get it polished... I think that would add major more bling to the bike and make it look not as dated... :2cents:

 

[dnyce]

yea, thats 26yr old aluminum, and you can tell! the motor im working on is either gona be black cases and block and chrome all the covers, or just chrome/polish the whole thing. im thinkn of raking it about 3-4 degrees, new front end, 10" over swingarm(its 8" over rite now), led tailight molded in the rear fender and rearsets. but thats wen i get alotta money to blow

 

[DLIT]

How many miles on that beast?

 

[dnyce]

bout 20k, almost 21k, 2700 of them are mine, mostly 1/4 at a time. had a valve job at 19k, jus because. its been to fresno and back, no probs. thats like 600miles i think.

 

[Gas Man]

Yeah a all black motor would look sweet too! But like you said... 26 year old alum and you can tell. But I love the bike!

You could just do some rake in the trees!
