| Smoothe bore Mik's and lotsa chrome. |
| Hot Damn,,, got some vintage PM wheels. Now polish them and powdercoat them a killer metallic green |
| The air-shifter tank is also the front cross-member of the extended swing-arm. Next up for,, mounts for the vintage '70s era shorty wheelie bars compliments my friend Gordon Liska who makes the ultimate replacement for worn plastic-centered Kawasaki cam chain gears (stock p.o.s. on the right compared to Liska on Left). We also will replace the cam bearings with 16 new ones. |
| This is Malik's 1977 KZ1000. I have a just installed a Wiseco bigbore kit, WebCams, Liska Gears, MRE Airshifter . The engine is painted and ready for it's layer of freshly chromed engine covers and powdercoated details. A Vance and Hines sidewinder & vintage smoothebore's will set the theme for this drag framed low rider. It will see some modern touches too,,like an MRE air-shifter, 150 rear tire, late model brakes and long, long, long swingarm. Out front the frame is getting enough rake in the neck to clear the sidewinder and make it super stable at speed. |
| I'm making the lowering blocks,, these are for a 3" drop. The right way to lower a front suspension,,,completely internal and fully functional. |
