My thoughts exactly, the more i look at the pics, the more i notice. Like the master cylnders, billet oil filler cap, Dyna coils, breather hose... i could go on....

What style exhaust are yer having made? Or do we have to wait an see :)

Whatever style, you will not be dissapointed - quality :up


Thanks sanderz for your kind words...the master cylinders are for a GSXR i think and a friend turn up some ally caps for them.

The exhaust is going to be in a piper style from Dave.

I called round to Guys place this evening to grab a stand for my B, thank again Guy.. and while there I got to have a look over the Z650, damn this thing is hot, I was lucky enough to see it with the tank on, and the paint is superb, this is going to be a show stopper for sure. :wink:

Did a little more work on my Zed today (errr yesterday now)
A friend made me a very nice torque arm with rose joints in s/steel as the old one was only about 2mm away from the tyre :shock:

Also i had to see what the all paint work looked like on the bike...not too bad me thinks :D

Hi Guy,

Is the seat ready yet? what style is that and can you just clip it on so we can see a bit more of the final look please?

COS I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS LUSH BEAST TO BE FINISHED :evil:

It's so nice to see a 650 get the no time & expense spared treatment that is normally reserved for the bigger versions.

Cinderella you shall go to the ball!!

You should stick this project on www.kz650.info they would absolutely wet themselves and crown you King Guy the 1st with this as bike of the month matey.

Cheers from Mark
