What a beauty!
On a side note, having read on TWT about bikes be stolen from storage facilities I hope you have been able to take extra security/insurance precautions.
 
Been doing a little motor work on this thing.
Wiseco 810cc kit, APE hd cylinder studs and nuts
and a ported head with APE valve spring's.
Just need to finish the valve shimming and then back in the bike.

Little update on my hotrod.
I wanted to remove the oil cooler so swapped the GPz oil pan that had cooler line fittings for a KZ650 pan.

and used some hose clamp's for ring compresser's.

Very nice! On a drag bike like yours, excluding a major failure - whats an average life before rebuild is needed?
 
With good maint. and keeping up with valve
adjustments should last for a few years.
Most important thing is changing the oil
each time I run the bike.

If you get out for a ride Sat. come by and say hi.
 
Find someone to shoot video of your run! Would love to see it.
