Im buying my first bike ,a kz750 '82 . It hasnt been customized yet but im going to try to copy some of your ideas to work on mine. I have zero experience riding bike nor fixing em but im sure its not that hard. Ill post the videos
Beautiful!! I would love to have something like that. I usually don't like stretched tails, mostly on sportbikes, but a stretched tail on a standardish bike looks great! Stance is awesome.
I know what you mean, when they do it on a sportbike, it seems ridiclous, maybe cause they usually add a fat tire, and the stretch is so long. I try and keep thing s reasonable or "low key", actually "tasteful is the word Im lookin for.
Did you have to do any jetting to the carbs with the added pipes and what looks to be aftermarket air filters? If so, where were you able to find a jet kit, or what exactly did you do to this application? Thanks and the bike looks good!
Im 6'2"....................................Bike is little small for me as you can see from the vid. The guy who owns the bike, is about 5'8". It works out good for him. If it was mine I would put forward controls on it so my feet would be farther out. Thanks for taking the time to comment, and please subscribe to my channel if it interest you. I have a new bike going together shortly.
i just cut the mufflers off the pipes on mine, pipes go back only to under the motor prolly kinda short, gona length em, scariest part of chopin bike was cuttin the front part (but with the backbone) of the frame off, looked bad but got it back together ok with a 5" rise
Not sure how much more we are gonna do to this one, Im waiting on the owner to drop off headlight, tail light and some directionals. We'll put those on and maybe clean it up a little. Check back soon, I have a H-D softail, with my drop seat conversion, going together soon.
Not yet.......I've only ridden it around the industrial park. I have about 3 1/2" between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. It should be adequate, but if not we will have to make some adjustments. No big deal. Thanks for your input I appreciate it.
Love the video, Jim. The bike looks great. Your feature article on the "21" bike in Barnett's Magazine is on newstands and Barnes & Noble now. Came out great.
thanks a bunch................you did a great job. " Jim Shadler plays his hand at 21".................outstanding. That thing about my name being spelt wrong was great......my family and friends will get a kick out of that. Thank you. Tell Buck, in reference to the Affliction article..........The guy who owns that bike got a real kick out of "Perscription for an Affliction". Turns out his daughter is a pharmacist, and he has two other kids in Pharmacy school. Funny stuff. Thanks again.
Sounds awesome! Great job on the mods!

Tasteful is good.

Stretching the back was a good idea . When you sat on the bike it had a real nice stance to it. Nice one.

Hey there, Nice little bike.
Out of curiosity, how tall are you?
Found a KZ for sale, never seen one in the flesh ( im a tall guy!!)
Thanks in advance. I love that swingarm mod, very cool way of stretching (seems alot less complicated than stretching the swingarm itself)

The bike looks very good, but does the rear tire rub after going over bumps, because it looks very tight to the fender with a rider on it......?
