my Jim Goose tribute bike

Post by Knight 0354 »

Seven years in the making; a complete restoration of a 1978 KZ1000B, then customizing it as a Jim Goose tribute bike. A special thanks to these two guys from Yak's motorcycle repair and detailing in Monument CO. for all the final touches and work they did.

Amazing work!
Looks like the bodykit and decals etc from www.madmaxcars.com
Good choice!!

the body kit and some of the decals are indeed used from mad max cars. The decals that were not used were the Kawaka and the z1000 they were to small, and the MFP badge decals. instead, I opted for 3d printed KAWAKA for the gas tank and 3d MFP badge for the fairing, I used the original KZ1000 emblem and just deleted the K from it. I believe that made for a much better look

Very nice. I wish I'd gone with that tail section. The paint work looks great.

I just installed a replica MFP radio on my bike, A big thank you to Richard Budge of Australia for making and supplying the radio.

Awesome looking radio. I certainly would have gone with that if I could have found one.

I don't see where he's selling them, but the video description gives you a lot of info on how to build one. Very cool!
I did the same thing with my cut down 70's CB, in that it plays MP3's. Not nearly as clean and screen accurate though.
