Everyone's Doing It



I stumbled across these at Race Cafe the other day. Looks to be a motorcycle photo site but he's putting together a hybrid KZ with updated suspension front and rear rather than a 1970's version like I'm planning on. 

I took a run up to the bike shop the other day and didn't exactly hear what I wanted to hear. When I explained to them what I was building and what I was looking for, I got the "that's not really what we do here" look. I'm going to start working with what I have and as I need specific things, I'll give them a try again.  He told me to put a list together and he'd see what he could do, so there's hope.

While cleaning out the school shop the other day, I ran across a can of paint that I had and the paint job I'm looking for clicked. While I'm a long way from paint, it always helps to have a vision of the finished project in your mind while working. I've got  a few details to work out but basically a 1970's Japanese hot rod motorcycle with a drag bike stance.
