New Guy (1976 KZ400) was created by ThatYeti
New to bikes (got through the MSF last year) and bought this 76 KZ400 at the end of last year, after sorting through a few minor issues its running well, just need to sort out some blinker problems and maybe swap a few things out to make it a little more cafe/brat-ish but not in a rush.  Completely illiterate when it comes to working on bikes, but got it from a seller in southern CT who is working to create a community for vintage bikes and has been unbelievably helpful in getting me through what are probably minor things to most with any experience.  Bike was sitting somewhere around NYC for years before he picked it up and went through it all completely; new tires, new chain, etc. before I bought it and I've added a new AGM battery, plugs, air filter, and tach cable so far.
