Truly a "junk yard/e-bay dog" bike- got the frame off e-bay, well, damn near everything off e-bay- all the motor and stuff from a KZ 1000 (1977) donor bike that was given too me.
total cost of build will be under 1000 bucks it appears- with the exception of tires- will add about 300 bucks or so to the price.
Okay- we started putting the pieces together to kind of mockup close to what the trail would be etc- what you are looking at is a 75 Z1 900 B frame, ZX6 forks, ZX10 rims front and back, with a 170 tire in the rear. Looks like a 8 inch over on the forks, with the ZX10 hieght tires, around 4-6 inches of trail, we will get it closer as we get it mocked up better.
This is what we call the "staged car craft mag shot"

Okay- it is my buddy Travis ( I think he is registered here as "chopaholic") in the sell out choppers hat LOL- don't hate him, it is Alaska, gotta keep something on his head to keep warm!

Here the fellas are doing some more looking apparently- but it is a good shot of how wide a 170 tire looks like on this thing!

Here it is with the shadow tank on it, the old corbin chopper seat (which looks like ass now that the bike is more mocked up- something else will be occupying that area it looks like!

Another fat tire shot- some slight clearance issues with the swing arm, just barely touching up front- and I think the sprockets will line up pretty good.

Last one of the shadow tank and such- the ducktail will stay, and no side covers- the old tank style to hide the electrics. the 5 inch of gooseneck and 36 degrees of rake (about 8* more than stock) - gives the whole front the chopper look- combined with the drag racing cues and wheelbase- the new wheel base will be 71"- almost 10 inches longer than stock.
