Kawasaki KZ400 custom

Kawasaki KZ400
Alex Patrocinio edits the Barcelona-based custom culture magazine El Diablo, and this is his bike. It was a 35-year-old UJM with a seized engine when Alex found it, but his friends at the custom shop Mad Crow Garage have turned it into a very smart street tracker. A select few mods have transformed the stance of the bike, particularly a cut rear frame with repositioned shock mounts. The engine was rebuilt, and a new battery box and wiring system were installed. That tight-fitting rear fender is a 5” Triumph unit, but the tank and bars are refurbished stock items. A rich, vintage-themed paint job is the icing on the cake, courtesy of Welok Studio and the Rocket 88 Hot Rod Speed Shop. Muy bonita.

PS: A warm welcome to our latest advertiser, the makers of the DVD Why They Ride. It’s the story of two brothers exploring their fellow motorcyclists’ passion for riding on one of most beautiful and challenging roads in the USA: The infamous Dragon at Deals Gap.
