Hello,

My daughter and I just purchased KZ400's. Hers is a complete 1976 that needs some mechanical tweaking and will run. Mine is a 75 and is missing electrical parts and some body parts, but has been stored inside. We plan doing complete overhauls on both. The one that I am claiming I was given rides on as a young boy, so it holds some sentimental value. I am sure we will have lots of ???? as we go along.

Thanks and hello,

John and Kirsten

Thanks for the tip. Found lots of info at KZ400.com also. This is my daughters first set of wheels and she gets Dad's time, so she is really excited. She is 16 and all her friends are coming by and looking. Her siblings are jealous. I don't know which is more fun, having a new project, or watching her.

That sounds nice man. I would advise you to advise your daughter to take it easy and don't show off for friends or she will see her first bike go down the drain, and we all would hate to see that(thinking of the human in this situation getting hurt), just don't jinx her.
