my Pops put those Konis on his/my bike. I think I still have the original paperwork for them.

yes those are Koni 76K 1343 special D. The good ones. I sent them to Robert hag "konimon" for complete rebuild.

And update. Basically nothing to report. I'm little burned out right now, Should start rebuild in a few weeks
In the meantime I bought, sold, haggle a set of Henry abe's 18" 19" Z1. Front was painted black andcurb bent, had to have it straightened $90 bucks. My buddy Larry Hardy lhkaws.com cleaned and vapor blasted the wheels and they are currently at the polisher for final brightening the edges. I have a complete set of engine covers at the polisher as well
Here is Abe's before and after vapor blasting








After vapor blast. Again the bead area and star edges are getting polished. They should great

Greg just keep the lesters and toss them abes in the dumpster... Then tell me what dumpster theyre in. With what youve said your plans are i gotta see how this turns out

Wow great I can't wait to see what the finished products going to look like.! I've been looking at LH kaws I have some work to do and was considering checking him out .if you using I'm sure he's reparable

You are using him I'm sure he's reputable

I told my cousin to paint it black. At the moment I'm not a fan of blue

Oh... I like that blue... sparkly too!

Half the old kzs I pick up seem to be black, the rest are usually green. I would run the blue honestly. Problem with lighter colors is they look a little bare without emblems or stripes or something

Finished it up today.

HOT DIGGETY DANG :woohoo: That is one schweet looking Z!

obviously no original paint scheme but a freebie looks pretty good
Honestly if i see another restored bike I'l puke \\\
