Hello KZ Riders! was created by Forrest
Hello to all! I am new to this board. I have ridden Kawasakis since 1974. I have been active over on the ZRXOA.org for the past four years. A good group over there even suggesting I get over here since, I am picking up a 77 KZ650B next weekend. It only has 1,746 miles on the odo. Yes, it sat for many years. I will need you more experienced members to help me out and get it restored.

You don't need a reason to belong over there. Just register and enjoy. Just ask Parkingpuckguy and Brakelikethe. ;)

Here is a pic of the the KZ650 I just picked up yesterday.

Thanks Keith. Here are a couple more views. I am going to take off the highway/crash bars and big ole back rest. My options are:

1) Restore to original condition;
-get saddle to stock form
-repaint and return grpahics to stock form

2) Go with some nice tasteful mods;
-new rear shocks and new front fork springs
-4 into 1 exhaust
-possible pods and rejetting.
