It's CUDS here =} hello
17 Apr 2008 08:51
I'm 18 years young, living the life in the Bay Area or Northern California. My bike, or should I say my dads, is a 76 KZ900.
My dad bought the bike brand new and put 6600 miles on it. Once my brother was born back in 87, my mom told him to park it (go figure). Well, I was born in 89, and it's now 08, the bike sat for nearly 21 years. I've always been the gear head in the family, now working as a Honda dirt bike mechanic, so I decided to get this back together for my pops so he can ride again. The story ends there, I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story, enjoy......
Heres the carbs before I rebuilt them- they were frozen up and looked like doo-doo:
...and here they are back together, ready to put on:
...and the bike starting to go back together:
...and here's the latest picture I have, this is how it sits now. :thumbsup:
