New project.

Picking up a 1980 KZ750 twin on Monday. Guy was doing a restore and lost interest. Titled, extra parts and supposedly runs....$300

Happy guy.

Re: New project.

So, any ideas on what you're going to do to it yet?

Re: New project.

Well that sounds cool. Get out the camera and let another round of pictures start.

I'm thinking kind of a cross between a brat style and an old 70's chopper right now. Pretty sure at this point it will get lowered rear suspension, raked a little, and konged to lower the seat.....everything else is kinda up in air right now.

Re: New project.

I don't know what a "brat style" is but that's definately chopper material you have there. And that seat looks huge, is that someones old couch?

Looks like you got yourself another fun project, good luck.

Re: New project.

Thanks for the pics, never heard of the term "Brat Style" before. Really like the look of the first one, I could look at that all day. The second one didn't seem to fit in with the first and the third but it was still a nice looking bike - kinda drag bike style.
