View Full Version : Nightrider '84 KZ750 LTD Shafty Cafe
bought the kz750 last may, almost a year ago. took it as an addition to a virago xv400/535 http://www.chopperweb.info/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30185&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 and paid just $300. 1 cyl was fucked up and seller said he couldn't have found spare parts, but i checked up evil bay, there were plenty, viseco kits, cam chains, complete engines, forks etc etc
so i bought it for restoration

an idea to convert the fugly chopper into smth more decent like a cafe race came in to my head very fast, just waqnted to do it without much effort but it never goes that way
the seat unit and tank were no go for a cafe, so i decided to use a modded tank from another oldie and to make a seat unit with hump matching to the tank

On my kat I did the below bracing - (I've added a bit to the traditional drawing at G - two extra tubes to make it a proper x-brace), and ran the bracing at A to the down tubes instead of to the end of the gusset at B.
Works well, if a little tight to the pipes at F

Nice welding, both of the thin metal of the tank and on the frame.
Not the most obvious donor bike for a cafe racer, but with your talent this one will look smart.
thanks mate yup indeed, thats why i was going just to restore the bike, the frame and shaftdrive were killing me/ but then i saw occasionally that bike of exactly same model

have you removed the cross section (horizontal) at F?
yup, i saw a 7/11 kat braced like yours, can't believe that a stock frame is so spungy?

Nope, kept the horizontal because the tubes at F and G are not quite in line - if they were they'd definitley foul on the inner pair of pipes.

hey surt were in Russia are you ?
one of my techs at work is married to a gal from Ukraine and she is freaking out as her aunt keeps trying to take mum to protest ralies.
hey albi russia and ukraine are just like australia and png, the 2nd 1 used to be a part of the 1st one but not anymore so let her go wherever she wants and get shot by a provoker sniper. and i wouldnt be envy to your mech coz the bloody ukranian 'gals' r famous for cheating, mind eating double-dealing prostituting cunts, also from my personal experience lol
and me is planted in moscow
this german bloke might enlighten you on what's really happening in good ole europe, doubt you've seen that on abc news, figuring that from the pile of bullshit that i see on euronews, an eu official channel that broadcasts on russia

cool bike mate!
Thanks!
It ate a crank bearing and the cams/rockers about a month ago... so it's in bits again.
The frame was my first welding project - done with a gasless mig no-less. Will strip it and re-do it one day.
Love seeing the progress on this thing.

I love what you are doing but it reminds me of an axe we have had in our family for generations. It has had four new handles and two new heads.

Unreal! You bent those angles spot on.
yup especially given the fact that i bend them with an old electric tube bender, very powerful but with just 2 buttons 'forwad' and 'backward' and huge inertia. so i usually bend them less than i need and then put a long tube on the pipe i bend, and then bent it manually to the needed angle (still on the tube bender)
as usual mate great work .

Fucking brillaint mate! I honestly love watching what comes next. This is the essence of shed building.
Meanwhile.....
where to hang up the silencer? ideas?
We hung mine from the footpeg hanger which seems about the same place for yours. Only downside to this is some mad vibration when stuck at highway speed for a while which sends your foot numb. Of course , the anser is to avoid straight roads and highways (well, works for me anyway).

thanks Si! yup i wanted to hook up the sil to the hanger but i'd like it to be a tad pointed upwards and not blocking the brake lever, therefore it'd be moved backwards. could you post a pic of yours, anyway?

X3 or 4 or whatever. Well done brother Surt.
thanks heaps mates, but sorry i cant just clear coat coz
a. the top of the tanks shrunk pretty bad
b. the tank and butt stop materials differ. probably i should have fabbed the tank from ally either but im trying to save on time as much as i can, same old story...
paper back mock up. the stop signals gunna be levelled with the butt stop surface
