That is a wondrous melding of a ZRX and a KZ1300. I believe Robert has labeled it as a KZX1300R which is also very original. Beautiful work Robert! Also thanks to Phil for posting it here.

Technology wise, I'd like to learn how Robert fabricated the exhaust system. Those appear to be stock head pipes but the chrome is perfect.

Thanks for sharing. Actually we've seen some pretty spectacular 1300's of late. What is it about these Kawasaki Sixes that gives vision to these custom builders?

The talent is daunting!

Someone needs to send those images to Kawasaki Japan with a message saying "THIS IS HOW TO DO IT" !

They could sell a lot of that bike EVERYWHERE if they made a new one & took the time to realize how good it looks. I would buy one for a start.

Its 1000% better than a lot of the plastic boring ugly rubbish that Jap manufacturers continue to offer year in year out.........& mostly don't sell as a result.

Just imagine that as a new bike in any showroom...........how could you resist not having one ?

Big respect to the Robert for creating an iconic bike.

Both wheels are machined and welded together. All welds were made with a TIG. The wheel turns strait. Attachments: The following user(s) said Thank You: KZQ
