"FREAKSHOW" for sale, new black paint!

Today I masked and re-shot my "Freakshow" black.  This is a quick and dirty paint job because I just wanna sell this deal and make some more room in my garage. With my fucked up back I just can't ride this bike any longer.  I need something with some support for my back. So the Freakshow must go so I can put the dough in my long bike. It's getting a tall back rest in hopes that I can continue to ride something besides a full dresser with air ride.  I'll have a bunch of pictures posted here when the bike is put back together and I will have it at BORN FREE.  If interested  you know how to get a hold of me. I'd also be interested in trades of equal or lesser value, pre-smog vehicles, even non running projects if the value is there. I'm thinking 3500 bucks is a good place to start the negotiations. Watcha got that I can't live without?

Here she is in her last incarnation. I rode it like this for about 2 years. This thing will outrun a 1200 Sporty no problem, straight and true.

 Here it is when it was a little more conventional.

Then I got a bug in my ass and decided I didn't really like that alloy fender with the sprung seat arrangement. So I fabbed up this tail, made a new light and added the quarter fairing.  I also relocated the front master and shortened the brake line.  I then figured it needed some sparkly stuff so I polished the side covers, cut down the clutch cover, rebuilt and polished the tops on the carbs etc etc......I think I've taken it just about as far as you can take it.  Should look sharp with it's fresh black HOK paint.

Today, I rebuilt my Bendix carb.....and a redhead

Unfortunatly my sexy hot looking Mikuni that took me a couple days to figure out and fabricate mounts and manifolds for...is....TOO FUCKING BIG!!!!

My friend Harry, owner and operator of American Turbo Power, or ATP stuck with me for days of rejetting and trouble shooting and that is what we determined. Thus you will notice the K&N air filter with 3 yards of racer tape wrapped around. It was only by restricting the flow of this big assed carb by about 70% that it would run half way decent and actually get up on boost. So, it's scratch the Mikuni and shuffle in the old fashioned Bendix which Harry tells me is the hot ticket for making this thing work really well. This is in fact the carb used by Kawasaki when they produced the Z1R TC, which sold really poorly at the time because guys were not used to idea of a motorcycle with 170 HP, which ain't shit now days but back then it like seeing GOD!

There wee many stories of guys buying those things and bringing them back because they were afraid of them.

Now back to today

I took it apart 2 days ago...

Took them out today, rinsed, blew dry......

Put this $12.00 kit I bought off ebay in there...

And got me this bright shiny fresh Bendix to take the place of that 38 Mikuni.

I'll be mounting it up in there, directly on the turbo, should help with turbo lag as well as give me awesome throttle response. Maybe I'll get it running again by Saturday, FRiday and Sunday I'll be at the Grand National Roadster Show, maybe I'll see you there. Oh and here's your Redhead!

Your welcome....

TODAY I MADE IT TO 100 FOLLOWERS !!!!!!!

TODAY i FINALLY MADE IT 100 FOLLOWERS!!!!!

HURRAY!!!!

More turbo install stuff !!!!

 Well my camera took a shit so I haven't been keeping up with my antics of late. I have been busy though. Turns out the Turbo kit I had didn't actually fit my KZ, I suspect it was made for a Suzuki, so I had to make a few adjustments and make a few pieces.  I also was missing an intake manifold and all the gasketing along with all the oil and drainage lines for the turbo itself. I had to drill and tap the oil galley next to the oil pressure sensor and modify the hole size to force more oil to the turbo and a little less to the top end, like plugging the main in smallblock chevy to send more to the crank and less to the rockers.

I had to make this new crosspipe from the header to the exhaust side of the turbo housing, also this short little 3" exhaust, should be able to hear that hairdrier spin up real swell!

Also made up this inlet manifold for the HSR Mikuni I'm using. There wasn't near as much room in there as I thought so I had to bring it out past the drain fitting.  I'm also going to have to make a bracket to hold the carb out there in this precarious position. Along with an electric fuel pump mount and throttle cable situation, shouldn't be long now!!!

Sorry about the cell phone pics but there just going to have to do for the time being cuz I'm saving up for SEMA! Maybe I'll get a new one there.
