78 KZ650 project was created by jzanutto
This was my first KZ project and I'm pretty much 98 percent done with it. Anyone think they would be interested in picking it up cheap - I might want to move it for just what I have into it, which is 1200 bucks.

It looks nice, runs nice and gets lots of compliments but I really think I am leaning back toward the 2 strokes. I'd be willing to just get rid of it and get back into another 2 stroke project. The only other thing I was going to do was put a Dyna ignition in it and get rid of the points.

I have an extra ring set, and complete gasket set to go with it as well. Lots of new parts, paint, etc....

the craigslist ad says 2200, but thats just for outsiders...

dunno, I like the bike and if no one else wants it then I will keep it for a while, invest more money into it trying to get more power out of it and the circle of insanity will never stop.

I was going down the road today enjoying the midrange pull and honestly said to myself " wonder what this would feel like with nitrous".

you can see where this is leading if I feed it...
