Don't put them too far in. I might be interested.

A true test of sibling love. :P


I haven't got them off the bike yet. I'm waiting to get some bits lined up (pipe, rearsets, etc) before rolling it up on the work stand. :whistle:

Ya no worries. It's a bit cold outside to be working on it anyway. Just let me know.

Did you get the kerker yet?

I love the ones on webbike that were referenced earlier. No budget for that right now unfortunately.

Ya, cold and snowy... not the best conditions for motivating me to get at it. ;) :P I'll let you know as soon as I do tho, for sure. :)

Didn't get the Kerker yet. The other fella is in the same position as me... too much to do and just trying to find a few minutes to dig the bike out from behind a bunch of other bikes. B) I'm in touch with him tho, just so he knows I'm still interested. :cheer:

Ya, that webike site is a killer!! :silly: I could spend a lot of dough there!! :laugh:

Stay warm and dry Sir!

Well, I got a bit of a "look" at the Kerker yesterday. More of a glimpse and a "feel". it's still packed in a room full of old bikes. There wasn't any room to get a really good look. I was able to run my hand along the pipes and check for dings. Nothing of any significance to report. B)

There's definitely a need to blast them with something and paint 'em, but that was to be expected. :)


Also have a lead on some rearsets. ;)

I should have both in my hands by the end of next week. Pictures then! B)

Drooz this winter is too long, have you seen Vancouver? the tulips are already in blossom. I am getting frustrated.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

STILL waiting for a bit of a thaw to get into a garage to get at a little "goldmine" of bits for this project. :angry:

MAYBE this week?! :unsure:



In the meantime, I picked up a couple of little bits. B)


GPz fairing, less windscreen:




Rearsets of unknown origin:





I have to get a windscreen for the fairing and we'll have to make up a bracket to make the rearsets work but that's all doable. :)
