1976 Kawasaki 900...

My 300 dollar eBay find will be my first bike build in over 30 years (Usually building cars ). This is what I am starting with. I've been looking at bikes for over 2 years, to see what direction I would like to go in. This site is by far the best out there. After becomeing a member just recently, I can tell this site was the way to go for more ideas and the info to accomplish it. I will be posting my progression here for all to see and chime in on with the knowledge and know how to make my dream come true. Thanks ahead of time guys and gals. The idea for this build is to have a bike I can whip some ass with and be able to ride the mountains ( Not like a sport bike ). I want to up the horsepower and stretch & lower it. While being comfortable to ride for a decent distance. More pics to, as the work has begone....!

Here she is at the start of the tear down. Getting ready to pull the motor. It looks like #4 took on some water and seized.

It looks like it to me. Double check by looking at the size on the tire. Ed
