My KZ1000 Police Bobber

I acquired this bike from my nephew when he bought a sportster. As soon as he had cut the back of the bike off and dropped it onto a 6x6 block I was hooked! That act alone raked the front end out, and I wanted to get involved in the build. Fortunately for me he was soon distracted with sportsters and I asked about the Kawi.

I'm a fabricator by trade so...AWWW! No fair!. But most anyone can do this, and if you can't, you have friends that weld, right?

I planned each design solution ( there are few problems that have no solutions), as I went along ie: mounting the coils on a custom battery box. You'll see these in future updates on our progress.

Regarding the picture of my KZ1000 police bobber final mock-up teardown:

I've already seen some cool builds here at CCG! If I can help with advise that's what I do at my weekend warrior shop ProMotion Engineering. This pic is right after mock up and tear down, so it's not painted pretty yet! That's Steve's dept. The curved brackets hold a round bobber style electrical box. It also has a peanut tank and strutless bobbed fender.

GO tear something apart! Make it uniquely yours!
Good luck! Greg
