Kawasaki Z1300 Turbo by Richard Fluttert

By

The Kawasaki KZ1300 is "the other six" not as often seen as the CBX or even the Benelli Sei. That's too bad because there seems to be quite a following in some areas around the world and a few builders have made some pretty interesting projects out of the big six. This particular Z1300 Turbo is the handiwork of Richard Fluttert from the Netherlands. Richard had already … [Read more...]

Kwikasfaki GSX-R400 Kawasaki H2 750 Custom

By

A couple of comments on the Kawazuki post pointed out another Suzuki frame with a 2 stroke transplant, and after a quick look at the photos, this one, "Kwikasfaki," is simply a lesson in how to do it right. The entire build is documented in a very long (60 page) thread on the Custom Fighters forum with lots of in progress pictures. The major pieces are a GSX-R400 gk76a … [Read more...]

This is what happens when you don't lock your bike up at night and it runs wild, the Suzuki GSX-R finds a frisky Kawasaki H2 and the next thing you know one of these shows up. The boys at Santiago Chopper, the same ones who built the Norley, combined a 1988 Gixxer with a Kawasaki 2 stroke, mounted a Suzuki B-King front end and added some Denco pipes and rolled out this … [Read more...]

Titanium Frame Ducati Monster S4RS – Mostro Della Strada from StradaFab

By

Got a note from Randy Martin with a few photos of a Ducati Monster he's just rebuilt, or should I say, reframed. Randy opened StradaFab, a fab shop for building titanium frames and carbon fiber parts. He found a 3 year old Monster S4RS with just 600 miles for his first project, so it hardly needed a rebuild, but it was perfect as the foundation for a new titanium frame to … [Read more...]

Vmax HyperModified

By

This looks like it could get really interesting. Roland Sands, Marcus Walz and Ludovic Lazareth are building what is called, Vmax Hyper Modified, scheduled to be introduced at EICMA next month. We all know what these guys are capable of, the idea of turning them loose on a new Vmax seems like the right thing to do. I'm not sure if this is one bike or 3 bikes, but either way, … [Read more...]
