Hello! was created by Jack_Mills

Hey guys/gals,

My names Jack and Im from Pittsburgh PA. I am restoring a 75kz 400 and also using some parts from a custom 78kz 400 w the faring and saddle bags. It seems that Bob Harrington's email from Z-Resto is not working anymore. I need to get my gauges redone, and Im not sure where to turn. I want to thank you all and the site owners for creating a place for KZ lovers. I also have an 81 I restored and I love it. Thank you all for your time.

Welcome. The KZ400 is a great bike and underappreciated in my opinion. Here is a pic of my '76 which is unfortunately suffering from the dreaded front brake caliper seal leak.
