Hello to all,
I would like to say Hi to everyone & thanks for accepting me on the site.
I am a retired mechanical engineer & have got back into motorcycling after a 20 year break.
Last year I bought a Kawasaki KZ750b4 from a friend of mine who had completely stripped & rebuilt it.
I had wanted this model ever since I saw a chap at work with one when I was an apprentice back in 1977.
I rode it last year in the nice weather & absolutely loved it, my wife likes coming out on the back of it as well.
I fitted electronic ignition to it last week, the type that keeps the points, but replaces the condenser & it has made it more responsive, so very pleased with that.
The only thing that is non stock is the front mudguard & the silencers.[img][img]https://i.imgur.com/6rbG4aql.jpg[/img][/img]
