Hello!
Thanks for adding me.  Attached is an image of my "new" to me KZ1100A3.  My father bought this bike around 15 years ago because it was a bike that he owned when he was in college.  He restored it from top to bottom, and has cared for it ever since.  For the better part of the last 7 or so years it has been a show piece in his shop, and I was generally the only one to ride it.  It hates the cold, needs the carbs rebuilt, and has few class 1 oil leaks but other than that it runs great.  I plan on replacing the Head gasket, the shifter seal, fork seals, and rebuilding the carbs during the winter.  Thank you in advance.

Welcome from the UK
IS THAT AN EV IN THE BACKGROUND 

No.  Its a hybrid.  I traded my truck in on a Minivan, and my ex got the van in the divorce this past year.

Don't worry, there is a pretty emotional thread running currently around EV's so I was just "poking the bear"
