1976 Kawaski KZ900 A4 1015cc Custom Build Cafe Street tracker Brat

Description

I built this custom KZ back in 2014. Anything that needed attention has been overhauled/upgraded with new OEM parts or custom parts that are better than the OEM stuff.

The bike was displayed at the One Motorcycle show 2014 in Portland. Since then I put about 1700 miles on the bike doing the shakedown on it. It starts runs rides and stops better than the stock.
