ZX7 Custom

A project that has been on and off the past 6 months. Much work has gone into this bike and it still continues. Customer brought in a 1994 ZX750L back in Nov. 2011 with transmission problems. Soon after repairing a bad 2nd gear issue. The following months the project snowballed. Engine rebuild, Single Sided Swingarm swap, Suspension rebuild, R6 tail swap, subframe chop, smooth, Full Polish of frame, swingarm. Shorty Yoshimura exhaust, Powder coat and Paint, the list goes on.

The Starting point. 1994 Kawasaki ZX750L.

XS650 StreetCHOPPER: Latest Pics

The StreetCHOPPER is complete... For now. Here are some shots of the bike complete. I'm stoked to see it as a finished, running piece.  Spec list is below.

XS650 StreetCHOPPER Update.

It's getting close. Are you getting excited yet? I am. Although, When you put this sort of effort into a project. Along with the ups and downs that have followed it. I suppose there is some anxiety once you reach the final stages.

So here we are with the final bit of fab and wiring.

XS650 StreetCHOPPER Update

Getting that much closer to hitting the street. Little bit of bodywork and getting the final wiring sorted.

Welded up the front of the gas tank.

Started smoothing out the welds and wrinkles.

Finally made a battery box and relocated and cleaned up the wiring.

Installed the headlight.

And added the velocity stacks.

Coming together.

Vintage Honda Day in the Shop

It was vintage Honda day here in the Shop. The lifts are currently occupied with the '76 CB750 Resto Mod project that is recieving some small tweaks before it is returned to it's owner. As well as an '86 VFR750 Interceptor. Being brought back to life after 3 months of storage. 

XS650 StreetCHOPPER Update

Finally got back to work on the StreetChopper today. It's all coming down to the details and finishes now. See if I can't have this thing done in time to run it at the Bike Bash in a couple weeks.

Chopped the fender mounts from the forks, de-seamed the casting line from the lower triple, panted the fork lowers and the wheel.

Some work that was done before moving the shop. The ugly as fuck trailer fender is binned. I honestly couldn't stand it. Buddy of mine gave me the idea of making something a bit more suited to the style of the bike. We spent an evening hammering and welding up some sort of a drag seat. It looks killer and fits the bike and your butt perfect.

More of a detail piece, but it is fast becoming a signature StreetKORE part. Glass brake fluid reservoir fitted to the rear master cylinder.
