Hi all. I just joined KZrider. I figured it would be a good idea since I am about to buy a 1978 KZ750 twin. She is a beautiful bike (but I am gonna have to replace the seat...isn't stock) and will post some pictures once I get it home, probably next week. She needs carbs rebuilt and new points, but shouldn't be any trouble for me. I'd like to know more about Shoe's cafe bike. I like the look of the extended swing arm, and would eventually liek to do that to this bike.
Anyway..that's about it for now.

I don't like the seat, and would like to find a stock, flatter seat for it.

Thanks Bill. I appreciate it. The man just picked up the Seca, so now I get to call the seller of the KZ and tell him I will be up next week to pick it up.

No problem! You are in for a great riding season. B)

BTW, any chance you can add your year, model and location to your signature? It will get you the fastest and most usefull responses, maybe from your own area, and it's considered very friendly. :)

Well... I found a different bike. The one I've been looking for a long time. Bought it and now am giving up getting the KZ. Thanks for letting me spend a little time here, and hope to see you all on the road sometime.
