76 KZ400 Kawasaki Hardtail build

hhhhmmmmm $80 for the 2 into 1. I wonder how much he would charge for 4 into 1? I think I'll go the PVC route maybe. Won't look nearly as cool though.

 

Im on a tight time schedule and I dont have a brazing setup or else I would have made it my self. but the 80 was worth not having to mess with it.

 

I agree.... If he would hook me up for $80 I would jump at it as well, but I doubt he would do mine for that.

 

Im not sure how well a 4-1 manifold would work. Maybe a 4-2 would work better?

 

I don't know. I might attempt to stick with the stock air box if at all possible.

 

Ordered my seat today. Went with a plain black hi-back single seat.

 

ooooohhhh....I like that. Where did you get it and how much was it?

 

ordered from Tcbrothers choppers. Tcbroschoppers.com. It was 119 but I bought their front and rear mounts also. it ended up at around 215 shipped.

 

wow....the pics on their website don't do it justice then. I picked up one from a guy on thechopperunderground.com for like $40 shipped. The guy I bought the XJ off of works at an upholstry place and is recovering it for me for free. that's with the springs and all.... can't wait to get it.

 

119 isnt to bad, the seat on my last bike was about $180 shipped.

 

Psssst, you don't need a brazing torch to do that, it's only solder, a
BernzOmatic would work fine

 

what's that sharp bike in the backround?

 

Im not sure thats the picture I grabbed off their website.

 

Welded some gussets on the lower bars and notched my crossbars, Im going to wait till my seat comes in before I weld those in.

 

I ordered the Pirelli MT43 tires and a set of tubes today. They are scheduled to arrive next week, my tank should be here tomorrow.

 

Tank came in. Its a tad bit longer then I thought but Ill deal with it. My seat came today also.

 

lookin' good - what are you going to do with the rusty forks and spokes?

 

I just bought a set of NOS inner fork tubes on ebay for 25 dollars. The wheels are going to get painted black, so I will wire wheel or sand them down.

 

could someone explain why you do all this work and change a good looking bike to this? I don't understand... I am not being rude I just really don't understand...
thanks.

 

Oh boy
