In case you thought your bike was tough, take a look at Street Tuff Customs' Kawasaki Z750B and you'll most likely see things in a different manner.
The old bike got a bit of chopping, as ST's Graham Braid replaced the stock swingarm with a ZZR one and replaced the rear of the chassis end with a loop to accommodate the new seat pan. The flat-tracker design involved building a rear cowl from sheet metal, and inside it one can now find the battery, rectifier and some more electric components elegantly tucked away form sight.
The forks and Oz rims come from an Aprilia RSV, while Marzocchi piggyback rear shocks went in place of the old suspension. The engine is rebuilt and got a black paint, and received an SU carburetor from a Mini, with a custom 1-in-2 manifold and a generous K&N oval filter.
With a scrambler exhaust and SuperTrapp cans, the Kawasaki Z750B got even meaner. And to make things even more serious, a custom tank was made. Graham himself said that this was one of the hardest parts of the build, with machined fins plates welded to the cut tanks and then having to finish the shape for a true one-piece look.
Adding matching details on the engine covers enriches the whole build and we can really say that the Street Tuff Customs Z750B is a really tough street bike. Seen on Pipeburn.
