New '82 KZ1000 owner checking in

Sorry, but pictures are on hold until she's more presentable, or at least intact... What's the saying, "Never show unfinished work"?



Speaking of which, I'm thinking of getting the tins repainted, they're functional but a bit banged up... I'm a big proponent of being visible and keeping my face from getting any uglier than it already is, so I'm never without my bright yellow Shoei full-face helmet. So I want to match up the colors with the helmet somewhat.

Whaddya think about British racing green with yellow pinstripes to match the helmet? Think of a 60's Lotus Formula 1 car. An all-yellow paint job might be a little loud, ya know? I was also thinking about candy-apple red or dark blue with antique gold striping.

Any thoughts?

At long last... she's on the road, mostly... I found out that the tires I thought were newish actually date back to the latter days of the Reagan administration, the carbs are still fairly messed up but functional, and the petcock is leaking slightly. But no matter, it's good to be back among the brethren!

Here's a pic of me and "Widowmaker":

nice ride bro!

Nice ride and glad every thing is on track. I am sure you will have a blast. By the way the original "Widow Maker" is the Kawasaki H2 750 three cylinder two stroke. Have fun and be careful.
