Thoses are super awesome rides. Could I have a ride on the Yamaha XS650 Bobber, that looks like fun. Oh yeah and you can trust me, no license, last time I rode a dirt bike off-road into a electric fence, I'll be a lot more careful next time! zap zap

Ok thanks SJ. Today I started to build the exhaust.
I also started my chain tensioner (Just like this one.). But I think I'm going to use a old school skateboard wheel instead. I just don't like the idea of having that sprocket seize up while I'm going dow the highway. Having a roller that has no teeth, at least the chain won't bind and lock my back wheel up. I also decided to build a new battery box. The old one was sort of ugly, and didn't match the bike. The new one is tucked under the seat, as you can see. Almost fully mounted, and still needs the corners rounded out. You can also see, I put a leather "tool" bag on the front of the bike to hide the wiring that would normally go into the old headlight. Since I was changing the headlight, I couldn't hide wires so this was my only option. I think it finishes off the front of the bike. Chain guard got started today. Took a 1.5" square tube, and cut off one side. That actually took forever since the tubing wall was an 1/8" thick. Also started beating the chrome off the rear fender. The electrical system in the shop isn't the best, so I sorta have to take breaks or start working on other parts. This gives things time to cool down, otherwise I'm popping breakers every couple of minutes. -------------------- Guitars:

Hey guys, This is the final progress report on the KZ650. Hope everyone who is following this build likes the finished product. The only thing I'm changing is painting the rear fender black (and hiding the wires underneath it). The bike is balanced perfect, and rides great. It pulls really hard (surprisingly) for a 30 year old bike. The carbs are sync'd but set a bit rich, and I'm still neck and neck with my friends GS750. Hey man, bike looks (and sounds hehe) really cool! Congrats on building it! I wish I had something similar to ride )) One day.... -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
