TBT...1974 Kawasaki F7 Rat bike..

Had this little guy for a few years now. Right now, it's the only bike running (should have the choppers ready very soon). It is a 74(if I remember correctly) that I swapped in a cg250cc engine (original engine was blown). I fabricated a bunch of stuff from wheel to wheel and put a wild paint job on the tins with silver leaf and a multitude of colors. Used some ammo cans as saddle bags and it is my city/adventure/rat rod bike. It is ideal for riding around Chicago since it is lightweight, easy to throw around and can deal with all the pot holes. Still need to do some off roading with it. But it's a cool, unique little bike that's super fun to bounce around the city in.

"I have heard that there are two kinds of welders: production welders, who don’t like tricky setups and enjoy doing the same thing over and over again; and maintenance welders, who hate it when they have to do the same job twice." - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig

I am the latter...
