  • In this video, we make a one-off wooden buck to send to Tuffside for our custom seat. We also weld in our new frame hoop.
    Let me know what color seat I should go with.

    I grew up in that era and for some reason green was the most popular color for bike's. I have a 78 kz1000 that is the same color. That's why I like this build. I would go black seat and stitching, but that's just my opinion. Great video.

    I’m about the start a ‘76 KZ750 build inspired a lot by this build!
    Quick question of the frame hoop since the link is not longer valid. Did you use a 235mm hoop? The widest I can find is 235mm yet when I measure the frame I get 245mm.

    Hey, just wanted to connect with you because I have a 1979 KZ750 twin and am right in the middle of stripping it down. I’ve only built a 71 cb350 cafe racer and have never worked with KZs. I’m an industrial designer by trade and live Colorado. I’d love to see if your willing to chat about some wisdom of the details on working on these bikes ? I’m on Fb and instagram as well as Bobster Cafe. Or my name. :) bike looks amazing btw. Still working out the final design of mine, but I’m thinking scrambler/fisherman bike. :)

    Or black with grey stitching. But need some kind of stitching a different color from the black seat. By like I said it is a different build a different type of bike and you want it to be as unique as possible

  • @RC44E
    @RC44E 5 лет назад

    I suggest if your sending out for a custom seat. Then go the distance and have the colors be custom. Suggest a two tone seat of some kind. Brown and light beige with green stitching?

    A black seat with just stitching going across right to left would look good on a scrambler.

  • @aceryas
    @aceryas 5 лет назад +1

    I said this on another video, not sure if you saw it. But the key hole on the gas tank lid isn't key specific, any key will work. And I'm sure you thought about it, but gotta remember, by bending the seat down, you effectively make it shorter

I'd go ahead and buy the tube bender, and start selling some of your own hoops, I think that would be a perfect little item to add to your online store!

  • @justinstockwell8640
    @justinstockwell8640 5 лет назад

    Great video - thanks for regular updates! Just a quick question if I can about pod filters (no, net jet sizing!). I notice you are a fan of the foam types, but after going through some of your previous videos, I haven't seen you mention oiling them. Do you do that off-cam or is it a decision not to bother? It seems a real pain to do. Cheers!

  • @mikeeger7581
    @mikeeger7581 5 лет назад

    Your only doing each build once mite as well make it as unique as possible. And if it’s not anymore expensive to go with different colors and looks you might as well.......

  • @mikeeger7581
    @mikeeger7581 5 лет назад

    They have metal or plastic covers of any color or shape to cover seat / tank space I don’t think it looks good at all with just air/ space there. Sorry bro just my opinion

  • @mikeeger7581
    @mikeeger7581 5 лет назад

    There seems to be a yellow ish strip on tank within the paint strips so instead of grey stitching and bits and pieces. Make them match that yellowish green on the tank!!!!! Brah 😀

  • @mikeeger7581
    @mikeeger7581 5 лет назад

  • @toddatstone_city_outlaw8714

    Hey again Taylor
    Listen I have a “problem”with my street twin, and seeing as you seem pretty knowledgeable about it all, I thought I’d ask...
    I find my bike, not feeling like it used to. It use to have a strong coughing acceleration where I had a good like bopbopbop sound when I was accelerating in lower rpm. Now, I feel like it’s more like a steady stream when I accelerate, like sometimes it feels,like I could be in high rpm pretty quickly in 2nd and 3rd, I even found myself at the end of the throttle without the power I should be expected to have... it’s hard to explain by text (even more in English), even when I try to explain to the garage they don’t seem to pay me no mind... they take it for a ride and say it seems fine, but they didn’t have the before/after effect I’ve had...
    I tell myself it might be that the bike used to be new and now it’s fallen into what it’s supposed to be... it’s at 4000km
    I’ve played around with the clutch lever settings (1/2/3/4) and cable tightening, it does change things, but the effect doesn’t go away
    I know there are more settings I haven’t looked into, like the clutch cable down by the foot, or maybe it actually comes from the accelerator
    Dunno
    Thanks to you Taylor
    Or anyone who could help
    Adrien

    • @TheInja
      @TheInja 5 лет назад

      It's probably a mixture of wear over the riding you've done. wear of the clutch, the throttle, the engine, etc. That's why for combustion engines there is a "Break in" period. Especially with only 4000km, it's probably just smoothed itself out. But if you feel a distinct lack of power, of course there could actually be a problem, like running it all that time with insufficient oil level and the metal is shearing itself or 1000 different problems like it.
