Well I survived another New Years Eve celebration It was easy considering I was in bed by 11pm LOL

Out with the old and in with the new The new year brings KZR a outstanding bike saved by a respected member

SO, Please welcome Nessism and his awesome 1981 Kawasaki 750 E2 to being our First Bike of the Month for 2017

Ed Ness is a very active member here on KZRider who offers good advise regularly to our membership and I thank him for that

Eds bike project started out as a rough 700 Dollar purchase and over a couple years he brought it back to life .
Before



After


ED made a few upgrades during the restoration but overall the machine is stock with a little added flavor

I always have liked Eds paintwork on this bike. A gorgeous Dark Blue Pearl that Looks Black in indirect light. NICE

Im only on my first cup of coffee ( With Baileys ) this morning so Im signing off for the moment to enjoy my Grandkids

But I want to thank Ed for letting me share his 750 with the membership as our January Bike of the Month.

Thanks Ed !!!! Very Nice Bike !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Happy New Year and Wecome to BOTM

Dave

Nice work, very impressive congratulations!

Great choice. Great work. Great looking bike.
Congrats Ed

Nice work, attention to detail is over the top. I bet it rides as good as it looks.
Congratulations on a job well done.
David

Thats a well deserved BOTM, that thing is immaculate, a great inspiration to me when I was working on on a 750 e, but I knew I'd never get to that level! Ed was a great help too and always keen to help out and share his knowledge. I hope he's getting plenty of mileage on the bike, I'm sure it will put a huge smile on his face! Congratulations Ed!

Thanks for the kind words guys.

The photo of the RH front of the bike shows the one big wart: the powder coating on the #4 header bubbled up and I haven't gotten around to fixing it. I regret having the pipes coated even though the chrome was tarnished. At least problems like this don't occur.

Congratulations

Glad everyone likes my choice for our new Bike of the Month.

Still can use a couple nice stock machines to feature in the future

Contact me if interested

Dave

Congratulations Ed! Nice job!
I like the clean cylinder head fins!
I have a black engine somewhere covered up?
