Hey Michael. Starting out on kz900! That's a heck of a starter bike ! I started out on a lowly 55cc Yamaha in 1964. I also have been a Kawasaki owner in the past, bought a ZX 11 brand new in 1999, probably should have kept it. Ride safe have a great day..Steve... AKA rangerdaddyo
Great looking bike. Sounds as good as it looks. Love the Clay Smith decal. I have it tattooed on my right arm. You definitely know when you come across someone who hasn’t come up around hot rods and bikes. They complement me on my Woody Woodpecker tattoo. You take care and stay safe.
"Mr Horsepower" seemed appropriate for this bike since the stroker kit just about doubled the power. People have told me the bare metal finish reminds them of WWII aircraft so some "nose art" seemed like a good fit.
That's a Well Tuned Motor! Very Nice! The SV1000's are great to- I've got a Honda VTR1000 similar to the SV - & an Old '04 KTM 525 exc - You've got good taste in Motorcycles! Cheers👍🇦🇺🍺

@@rangerdaddyo9064 I'm on a 2001 zx9r right now bought it new have 127000 miles still running like new !
@@michaelcunningham6641That is "very" impressive, Good job on that maintenance.
Beautiful build! 👍👍👍
Thank you Lawrence : )
love the clay smith cams decals.....may have to use that on my bike !!! great and interesting rebuild , nice job .
Mister Horsepower. Seemed appropriate with the S&S Stroker kit almost doubling the output of the original 74ci motor.
Sounds good. I like the front finder on the rear. I got one in my closet modified for the rear also. Got it at a swap meet 20 years ago
Thanks Larry, the tricky part was fabricating and welding a channel for the chain so as not to alter the lines of the FLH front fender : )
Beautiful 🥰
