[@AimlessMoto]

Sorry, realized some of this drones on, and I missed out on my time-lapse due to a bad SD card... hope you like it just the same! Thanks!

AimlessMoto what's up like ur video's ur the Man! 15015632829 Have a nice weekand Lol!

[@leslieaustin151]

To be honest, I think many ‘scrambler’ and ‘tracker’ modifications are crap, but this bike comes out looking REALLY nice. You have a good eye, and it shows. Thanks, it’s given me some ideas. Ride safe! Les in UK

[@AimlessMoto]

Thanks.. when you do it right, it looks like it was supposed to be that way. :)

[@azimuth2142]

Welcome back. Bike is looking good so far.

[@Pyro17059]

Wow! Would never know that paint was done with a rattle can! Nice job

[@jayn8392]

I wasn't so sure about the paint scheme as you were explaining it, but seeing it on the bike it looks great. That 2k clear is great, you may want to consider wearing a nice resperator when using it if your aren't already, there is some chemical in 2 part clear that is super nasty and toxic. There are some freaky stories online of people really messing their lungs up with the stuff.

[@cafemonkey5251]

Wow, that is absolutely stunning.

[@Petej67]

Lookin really good man!

[@tacticalmosquitoeater]

absolutely stunning! excellent craftsmanship

[@AimlessMoto]

Thanks Lucas!

[@pyzik200]

Dude, that came out so awesome

[@donth826]

Just watched this again really good stuff man. Love to see another one if you ever feel like it.

[@AimlessMoto]

donth826 more coming! Restoring and shooting video for a 1976 RD400. Video will be out next month!

[@the_jtown1952]

Welcome back, man. Bike looks great! I'm hoping to try building a scrambler styled bike this winter. Keep up the good work!

[@AimlessMoto]

Thanks man! Appreciate the comment! New project coming up this week!

[@rodneymahler472]

Loved the build, loved the bike. Just found a KZ440 that I wanted to do the same thing to before I ran across your videos. Now I want to do it even more. I would like to go with a little bigger/wider tires. Hopefully I can send you pics and updates. Would love to start my shop.

[@AimlessMoto]

A KZ400 is the way to go! Simple, fun, parts are still out there. Max width on stock rims is 4.00... some go 4.25, but you cant run a front fender.

[@andrewshepherd2463]

yes! I've been following this build since the beginning, been waiting on this video. awesome work man.

[@AimlessMoto]

Thanks! More coming next week!

[@anonharingenamn]

God damn, son. She's a beauty.

[@nicko12100]

That looks sweet!! great job!!

[@HJH413]

Tank looks great man. Pinstripes make it.

[@maxbryyan]

this is great stuff man!!!! one thing tho its nice to how you work on the bike and what you do exactly. if you feel its to long we can always skip ahead ;) to do this i suggest you get your self a head mount for your go pro or what looked like a sony camera

[@scatcat1994]

Beautiful tank. Great job.

[@paulstokes1469]

Awesome work!

[@justinpatalsky1]

Good job man I'm working on a kz 400 tracker right now too. I hope mine turns out as cool as yours!

[@AimlessMoto]

You doing build videos?

[@AngelPerez-jw1uu]

Hi im building a 1976 kz 400 and I'm looking for video to convert to a bobber

[@heladar]

Love your work and videos, awesome! Only thing I dislike is the seat. brown does not match with the color of the tank and fender. Greetings from Germany.

[@tonyagudo4515]

Loved your simple build! I got a 79 myself and been thinking of making it a scrambler too. What did you do to lift the bike? just changed your rear shock? Are the front fork all stock height? Thanks!

[@AimlessMoto]

I lowered the forks as low as they would go in the trees and the shocks were 10mm longer than the original.

[@damontomchick1921]

Incredible!

[@lukesims6636]

Will that exhaust diminish the cooling ability of the fins on the right side ?? Looks good tho , did you have any trouble setting up the carbs ?? 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@AimlessMoto]

Nah, the owner of the bike now has put over 20k on it issue free. Yes, I was able to tune the carbs, I had installed the butterfly valves upside down causing a massive air leak when they were closed. Turned them around and was 100% better.

[@milmex317th]

Not a fan of café bikes, props to you Good lookin bike.

[@billconnor8330]

Bike looks amazing! What temperature and how long did you leave those Kawasaki tank emblems in the oven?

[@AimlessMoto]

150 degrees, about 15 minutes. Any hotter/longer and you'll bubble the paint. It's just regular acrylic lacquer.

[@madslomo]

Nice work buddy. What tyres are this

[@AimlessMoto]

Kenda K270s

[@bat38080]

very beautiful :)

[@enthuz5823]

Hey I just got my '76 running yesterday, it's bogging bad. Did you re-jet? Mine has pod filters and a different exhaust.

[@AimlessMoto]

I every single jet is stock on mine... you're probably running your floats too high, or the pod filter rubber is blocking the inlet to the idle circuit and carb piston... you either need to carve away the rubber, or do like I did and fit some PVC spacers between the carb and the filter.

[@enthuz5823]

+AimlessMoto Hey thanks for the valuable info, I'll give those tips a shot.

[@enthuz5823]

Hey I'm working on a 76 now. Where did you get the seat cover and shocks?

[@AimlessMoto]

Enthuz both ebay!

[@markusp9432]

Your oil problem is worn valve seals or blow by on pistonrings. If you have good compression then its the valve seals. Change Them dont use oil addtives. That restore rubber seals becuse you have a wet clutch that need Friction Modifiers. Oil has to be good All time or your clutch will slip

[@AimlessMoto]

markus p the problem went away after I fixed the carbs and changed the oil. It wad the gas draining into the crank thinning the oil causing the problem.

[@markusp9432]

AimlessMoto sound a little Strange. As the only Way it can get into the oil is valve seals and pistonrings. Maybe the valve seals had been dry for years and need to get lubricated by the oil. Before it wanted to seal. But good you got it fixed, im doing a kz 550 right now. later im gonna take the head of grind valves and put in New seals :)

[@AimlessMoto]

markus p nice!

[@Driessens_Peter]

very nice build, but one thin i have to say and its youre seat is to long, on a scrambler/tracker everything that passes the middle of the rear wheel is dropped weight, english is not my native language, so i hope u understand me a little bit, building trackers myself

[@AngelPerez-jw1uu]

Hi what year is your Kz400

[@AimlessMoto]

I think these were 1978's (I had one with electric start, one kick-only to make one running bike.)

[@cristianrivas7540]

Where can I buy one built already I'm not a builder unfortunately

[@AimlessMoto]

Uh... want mine? Lol...

[@cristianrivas7540]

Umm how much ?

[@AimlessMoto]

$2000.. has title.. local pickup in Mass only.

[@cristianrivas7540]

I'm very interested!!!!!

[@sevenity2677]

Can I have your old headers?

[@AimlessMoto]

They were hacked up to make the ones on the bike.
