Hello from the 'Nooga

Longtime lurker's first post. Many thanks to the regulars here whose expert advice is generously provided. More times than I can recall a topic search will produce exactly the bit of wisdom needed.

Much wisdom was needed, too, after talking my brother out of a basket-case '84 KZP he had tucked away in a dark corner. Bought by a friend of his at auction, the ex-Atlanta PD patrol bike had spent a neglected ~15 yrs awaiting resurrection. I spent a fast and furious 2 months making it ride-able for a fall '06 trip to the Smoky Mountains. Many problems had to be deferred in the interest of time & money limitations.



Now I'm well into a proper restoration. Disassembly is complete, with engine teardown pending. Many decisions still to be made and problems to be overcome.



I'll try to post progress pics as I can and share any valuable tips or resources discovered (All in the appropriate forum, of course).

Oops. Here's the '06 ride pic I meant to include.

Dude, you will need to do something about your short legs...

Well done on the tear-down, thanks for the Pics too!

"Proper" restoration... no kiddin!
Wish I had the guts/time/patience to do a frame-up resto on mine. Maybe one day...
Welcome to the site, and thanks for sharing!
