Howdy, I guess I've been on here too long without an introduction so here it is in segments

Bike - 1976 KZ900A4 - Well, I found this bike in the back of a barn out in Iowa. Covered in dirt, it didn't look like it ran since about the time I was born. It was just in shambles. I offered the owner $250 for it and he bit. Now I knew it was one hell of a bike since I grew up around my dad's KZ650B2 but I had no idea about the history of the Z1/KZ900. Needless to say I was surprised the PO let it go for so little. So she's sitting in my garage getting little thing done to her as I have to pull funds from the car to the bike but it's worth it.

Welcome Shadow, If you have been on a while you already know this is a great site and most of the guys are helpful and knowledgeable. I also have a KZ900A4, it's a bit of a hybrid, there was an engine swap somewhere down the line. I'm rebuilding right now too. Look forward to see the progress on your bike.(these guys love pics!!)
