Two wheels to go please!

Hi y'all! I'm glad to be part of your group. I heard about you from another group and figured they would not steer me wrong. I have been a bike lover for most of my life. I was always a rider not a driver. A month ago that changed when I bought a '81 KZ550 D-1 GPZ and a '81 KZ550 C-2 LTD for $800. A little work and some parts swapping I got the D-1 running good enough to become my daily driver to work. I left you a picture of her.

I look forward to hearing from y'all.

Good on ya but one word of advice. Get a front brake
on that bike or get some good insurance. Safety should
be your number one concern. Unless you really like
pain and suffering. ;)

Welcome to the KZR Nation. Nice to have a new daily rider. :cheer:

Neat bike but I'm with Locozuna. When I scrolled the picture over to the no-front-break my $ss puckered up real tight... ouch. :pinch:

If you have a working front break in either bike please install... in the mean time I'll pray for ya.

Best of success. :)

Can you add your year, model and location to your signature... just in case we need to send flowers. :laugh:

Welcome to Kzr. Lots of good info and knowledgeable people here. Good luck with the bike and as the others said, you really need to get that front brake.
