I'll let you off this time Frank but don't let it happen again.

Now go and stand in the corner and be quiet.

i just punched in the web address at the bottom of the picture. no go.

Flying J · « **Reply #2581 on:** July 30, 2009, 08:08:49 pm »

it said it was a turbo 550.

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #2582 on:** July 30, 2009, 08:11:04 pm »

looks like a smaller or modified Mr.Turbo kit. Could be a different one, but there was one for the KZ650 I found not too long ago.

Ecosse · « **Reply #2583 on:** July 30, 2009, 08:28:38 pm »

ah, i see said the blind man. turbo: that would explain the exhaust routing.

next up... brakes and wheels.

Now this is inspiring, what do you call this style? It's very racy, very industrial and very 19th century. I really like it, got any more?

couldn't agree more alan!

thanks ffjmoore for the edumacation. i wish "mags" were more readily available for these bikes. guess i'm about 8 or 10 years too young. missed the boat.

Don't make me slap you....

Good luck finding that one Bill. Every Kaw wheel I have tried to transfer needed at least new spacers.

Not quite steampunk, but that reminds me to ask... Anyone know of any good examples of funtional steampunk motorbikes out there?

i've seen at least once a sohc with kawasaki wheels. wasn't my eye either guessing... these peepers spot the absence of pantie lines and 1960's era musclecars from a 1k yards but these old bikes, not so much.

bah! functional... what's that good for?

like that smiths tach with the speed holes.

I don't know... throw on some mid controls and it would look comfortable enough to actually ride short distances on...

Sick minds think alike... I kind of like it...

UnCrash · « **Reply #2595 on:** July 31, 2009, 05:33:13 am »

Now, that's badass!

Sliding the rear tire out, hard on the throttle and suicide shifting. The look on the flagger's face says it all. He's stunned.

Maybe you are aeeing Morris Mags on Hondas, that is the real hing!

And thinking they are Kawi, the copy thing..

Just to add to the mix, I have a Morris Kawi 4bolt, adapted to 6 bolt Honda disc , on my bike..

man, that steampunk stuff is freakin cool, including the comic!!

i'd like to get someone with "skilz" to clean up the drag-on lady and make a nice frameable picture. too cool... and this is someone's grandmother.
