This place looks cozy

Hi all!

I'm glad I stumbled across this forum and website. You have a great and helpful community here, and I'm going to take full advantage

I just bought a 1978 KZ650 C2. This is my first real street bike (anyone want to buy a good dual-sport? I probably could have convinced the family bean counter that I should have a newer, more expensive bike, but I saw a KZ in a magazine once suited up for racing, and I fell in love immediately.

A previous owner added a Wiseco top end and pistons, Yosh 4-into-1 exhaust and some other goodies, so I'm on my way. The only thing I have done so far is take a turkey knife to the ridiculous king/queen foam to accomodate my 30" inseam. But I've got some fun planned, so I will definitely be using everyone's expertise - I have a already learned a lot from looking through old posts over the last couple of days.

I noticed quite a few other canucks on this board - even someone else from NB. Good to see!

Oh, and here's a pic of what I'm starting with...

Its beautiful Doc. Welcome

Great looking bike:) Welcome aboard. You may want to add your location in your sig line.

There are lots of good people here with tons of helpful info. Just post in the correct forum, and the info will start flowing;)

Welcome from another CDN.

Love the paint work on your bike, looks great.

And you found my favourite model, a 650C2 like mine.

Thanks, z1rick - missing location now found

I'm pretty happy about getting the C2, rtsnick - I'll ride it as is this season, and maybe in the winter I'll tear it down and have the frame powdercoat and little bits cleaned up - it is 30 years old, after all.

That paint is sweet. Welcome to the forum.

I really like that color too:cheer:

Nice combination. Two thumbs WAAAAY UP

welcome to z-jungle!
