Did I mention that I have a second 1981 Kawasaki KZ440?

That's right, it's going to be the stunt-double for the electric cycle.

You know how on cooking shows that they make some batter and the put it in the oven, and instantly they already have one baked to perfection? The gas motorcycle is the batter, and the EV Cycle is the fresh baked goods!

Both cycles will be used in my BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE instructional DVD.



I picked up the gas cycle a few weeks back. Overall, it's in very good condition - other than the carbs not working right!

Tonight, I started pulling parts off that bike that look nicer than the ones on my EV cycle. Fenders, tail-light, mirrors, etc.

That way, when the EV cycle is all done, it will look that much nicer!
