Cold start of a garage built 1983 Kawasaki 750 LTD (KZ) brat style cafe racer

[@BeardofZeus19D]

I just pulled a 750 frame out of the garbage down the road from my house..not sure what imma do with it but this bike is awesome.

[@MileMunchinAdventures]

Great job, this bike sounds amazing. I’m looking to do a very similar build, I really like the idea of the Kawasaki Kz750 Ltd chain drive scrambler.

[@YTjndallas]

Cool. 😎👍🏻 I have a black 1983 750LTD but it’s all original. I also have the matching black 550LTD.

Widzę mało polskich wpisów.... a szkoda. Cudze chwalicie .... etc. Świetna robota i dbałość o detal. Ten patent ze ssaniem - szacun ! Gang też robi robotę :)

Amazing kZ , you should add more videos of your bike

[@damianpecak287]

Thanks. Sadly I have sold the bike last year. I've built a Harley Davidson FXD custom this year so I'll make a short video of that one :) You can check it on my instagram: instagram.com/localpirate_workshop

Love to find a set of those fork rubbers. Can’t seem to find a set that actuel fits my 750LTD

[@damianpecak287]

Gosh I don't remember the exact product but I think they were MZ ETZ rubbers. You can find them here: allegro.pl/oferta/mz-etz-150-250-251-gumy-guma-amortyzatora-lag-para-7738702744

[@cool0454]

If I replicate your air intake and pod filters , do I have to change anything inside carburetors?

[@damianpecak287]

Yes, you will have to change tye jets in all of them because the mixture has changed

[@doddgarger6806]

Like it

[@chrisjames3573]

Might be too later for an answer but, with your headers and exhaust, are you still running the H pipe from the stock 4-2 exhaust? Was going to remove my H pipe weld up the hole and go 2-1 on each side with those shorty pipes you have.

[@damianpecak287]

2-1 on each side. H pipe was indeed removed.

[@chrisjames3573]

@@damianpecak287 thanks for the quick reply. On another note, did you keep the stock wiring harness or redo the wiring. I'm looking to go as minimal as possible with the wiring.

[@damianpecak287]

@@chrisjames3573 I've cut out all the "unnecessary" cables and went minimal

[@chicojones5464]

Where did you get the carbs from and that exhaust. sweet bike.

[@damianpecak287]

Stock carbs (750 LTD) only jets were changed because new air filters were giving more air so the whole mixture changed. Exhaust is the simplest and the most popular custom exhaust you can buy. I've bought it on allegro (Polish ebay). Here is one on ebay.com: www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-CUSTOM-CHROME-MOTORCYCLE-BIKE-SILENCER-EXHAUST-END-CAN-PIPE-SHORTY/331470727893?epid=1888571086&hash=item4d2d31ead5%3Ag%3AE9sAAOSw7GRZHIeq&_udlo=20&_sop=15&_pgn=2&_sacat=0&_nkw=exhaust+custom+motorcycle&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0

[@chicojones5464]

Thank you sir

[@jesseperry7141]

Hey man.where did you hide the ignition wires and cpu? Nice build.

[@damianpecak287]

Hey buddy, it is all tucked upside down under the seat, you can see it in 0:54

[@Robmorgan4]

Sweet bike! Like how you swapped out the air box for the pod filters. Did you have to make a custom bracket to support the carbs?

[@benm3403]

Robmorgan4 On most cafe bikes I've seen that have pod filters the rubber manifolds that hold then onto the engine are plenty strong enough to support them

[@alienjoe6610]

What are the carbs jetted out too

[@swinp22]

Awesome build!! Do you have a website link to the push button you used? Was it easy to install?

[@damianpecak287]

Hi, it was an old push button I have found in my garage. Very easy to install. You just have to rewire the original starter to a new one that is ON when pressed and OFF when let go. For example one from google: shoptjbc.com/products/push-button-off-on-starter-switch

[@KirkTheDirtEater]

Is that the stock gas tank? Beautiful build by the way!

[@damianpecak287]

KirkTheDirtEater yes, that's a stock Kawasaki LTD gas tank (Kawasaki KZ has diferent)

[@KirkTheDirtEater]

A family member passed away and they are passing me down their (what I was told by a relative) 1980 kz750 ltd. Can it be a KZ and an LTD or just one or the other haha. I really like the direction your build went

[@KirkTheDirtEater]

i think i just answered my own question nevermind!

[@damianpecak287]

KirkTheDirtEater thanks, and good luck customizing yours. Happy to help you when you'll have some questions ;)

[@KirkTheDirtEater]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@lvwrx]

what shocks did you use for the rear? also arecthe front forks the stock ones?

[@damianpecak287]

These are stock rear shocks from Kawasaki LTD. Front forks are also stock and were lowered by inserting a distance bushing on damper rod. You can find tutorials on how to do it online.

[@benfrederick1141]

Are those bolts sticking out your rearsets?

[@damianpecak287]

Those my friend are passenger footpegs ;D

[@mateunioxo]

Bardzo źle pracował silnik na oryginalnych dyszach w gaznikach z tymi stożkami?

[@damianpecak287]

Tak, wymiana dysz to konieczność i dość ciężki temat dla amatora.

[@motonate1585]

Where did ya get the seat? and does it have a kick start?

[@damianpecak287]

I have made it myself. First shaped it using Styrodur (more condensed Styrofoam) to find what shape will fit best and then made with seat foam and leather. Bike did not had a kick start.

[@thewalkingdeadlife7006]

Did you see him kick start it lol.

[@bethhavenbaptistchurch2774]

TheWalkingDeadlife my 83 kz750LTD has a kickstart.

[@allentrotter1327]

my friend, where did you get that spedo from?

[@damianpecak287]

Hi buddy. There are plenty of those speedometers on internet (allegro, ebay, aliexpress). That was a classic 0-160km/h mechanical speedo with LED indicators for High Beam, Turn and Neutral. You just have to be sure it has right transmission ratio (k) when you buy mechanical speedo. If you need help finding one I am happy to help. Just write me model of your bike and online shop that you use (ebay or aliexpress or other).

[@TheShamilli]

Would u happen to have the specs for the parts you used? I'd love to do something similar with my 86 zn700

No. It is standard Kawasaki 750 LTD subframe. End was cut off with angle grinder along with all unnecessary mountings under the seat.

[@lvwrx]

Damian Pęcak thats awesome, is the spectre sub frame and LTD subframe the same?

[@damianpecak287]

I hear for the first time about Kawasaki Spectre but from what I see on google it looks very similar to Kawasaki LTD. Subframe can not be much diferent :)
