Just wanted to say hello and thanks for having me.
I have been riding for years and have owned a few Kawasaki's. First bike I owned when I got out of the Navy in 1975 was an H1 triple. I bought a 1975 Z1900 from a friend and eventually sold it and bought a brand new KZ750B twin in 1985. owned a few other bikes and then picked up a 1982 KZ1000P in full dress and rode that for quite a few years and then started buying BMW's starting with a 2003 R1150GS brand new. I got into sidecars and then things started getting serious. I just picked up a 1976 KZ750B so I guess things are starting to go around again.

Current stable is a 1985 BMW K100/EML sidecar rig built by EML in Holland. A 2003 BMW R1150GS with a California Sidecars Friendship II hack. Then the 2006 Ural Patrol sidecar rig. The oddball is my 1999 Rokon Ranger and of course the 1976 KZ750 twin.

Enough for now and thanks again,
Dana

Welcome to the forum. You have an interesting collection of sidecar rigs. I used to ride a few for H-D when they needed miles put on them but they were police set-ups. They were fun for sure as long as they were set-up properly. Unfortunately a CEO at Hardly didn't like them and of course at the time they weren't selling many, so he gave them the axe a few years ago. I still think that was a huge mistake especially with the age of Harley riders increasing and many of them looking for something else besides 2 wheels. Many in my area are riding Can Ams now. Oh well, enjoy the forum. Lots of great info and people here. If you ask for anything the first question will almost always be...do you have a service manual for your bike? By the way, my first Kawasaki was a brand new 1975 Z1B. I wish I would have kept it!

Those Harley police rigs were some nice setups.

Yes I do have a manual for the KZ.
