I've been looking for a nice Z1 or KZ1000 and spotted this one. I usually don't go for someone else's custom but
would love to see this one in my garage. Looks like a first class modded bike.

Looks like he resisted the EMGO catalog and bought first class parts.

The CORBIN seats are hit or miss. On some bikes they look like an after thought. On others, they flow with the lines. This time it looks like it was a last minute decision.

Drewski on the Canadian site has a nice KZ!! :thumbup: With an awesome, one-of-a-kind titanium pipe which I believe was made by Lang Hindle for his own personal bike.

Hey Rick,
It's a beauty but do you think it's a $9K bike?
