good friend had this, about 13 years ago, got it running for him, it his business closed and it then sat for 4 years? , then gave it to me, which i then immediately gave it to another friend, david. this is where the pics start. I helped david with it for a few years, then his ex wife showed back up, but we had made good progress, so I bought it off him a few weeks ago and dragged it home last weekend to finally finish. 78 KZ650B.
Few mos later;
all the way down to frame, which is now powdercoated, changed ot KZ1000 mags & rear disc conversion, and all sorts of other little things including a stainless exhaust, etc. now Hopefully will have it all wrapped up over the winter. this will be the 3rd time i brought this bike back from the dead. lol.
'little bit' of carb work:
went thru motor:
current:
tanks sealed, seat is recovered by hand (local pro), and never brown, ever lol. going to be painted orange metallic. all sorts of other parts coming in now daily, too. should be able to at least fire it back up, again, tonight or tomorrow. new dyna-s ign already installed too.
