Elegance in machinery

I really think that moving machinery is so beautiful.  I love this table.  Some times I wish I was creative, or something.

This is your mind on KZ

A friend of mine put DJB in contact with me so we could fix up is boring old KZ1000

First thing that has to go is all that junk in the trunk!

Here's a tip use 1" conduit to mock up your next build 10' for $2 = way cheap!  I had this pic with the top rails being tacked up on the out side of the motor mount rails.  

Your next tip is Pick a better frame to chop...  Not that this won't turn out looking SWEET, but that it is all sorts of weird Japanese fabrication that I have to deal with to get good looking lines.

I borrowed the same seat DJB wants to use from Brandy Knotts, and I think it Looks SICK!

Tip 3, when you need to make a slot in your stuff always drill a hole at the end of the slot to make that drop piece come out nice and easy, and it looks totally cleaner.  Luv the port-a-band

And here you have it all chopped, cut, bent, and tacked together. Not bad for just one days work on the bike actually doing some work on it.  Only had to cut one piece over, so I used about 12' of 1"x.120 tube.
