kz400 build/entry : part 5

i finished the intake fabrication, which means i will finally get to hear it run for the first time. nothing beats that accomplishment other than the maiden voyage itself.







Craig at Front St. Cycle bent up some tubing to get started on the seat rails. yhe plan is to start this weekend on it, but i would rather not take focus off of getting the bastard running right now.

Hey man,i just picked up a 78'kz400 myself and it needs a carb rebuild too!What made you go with the single carb and manifold setup...other then it looks bitchin!!

quite a few reasons really.

1. the bike came with no carbs
2. i already had the cr125 carb
3. building an intake for $10 sounded like fun
4. simplicity
5. i'm on a super tight budget

the new carb boots along with a good usable set of carbs would have set me back a fair amount of cash. there are a few good examples of the single carb setup that have yielded great results, so i figure why not give it a shot.
