kz400 build/entry : part 10

yeehaw for progress!

earlier in the week i received a package from a buddy on the kz400 forum. we were able to do some mutual parts swapping, which yielded me a new set of trees with removable risers. since these still have the tabs on them, it was time to cut the fat yet again and trim away. with that done, it was time to move on to the headlight bracket. a few minutes drilling, cutting, and filing produced a not so fancy bracket that will fit the bill.




over the weekend, Brad was kind enough to lend a hand mounting the new Dunlop K70 tires, as well as turning some new axle spacers for the rd250 front wheel i got. we also were able to get the brake stay nub ready for weld on the fork lower, so things are really starting to progress. you couldn't meet a nicer fellow than Brad and it was nice to work with someone who knew what they were doing.
