Hello from Oregon was created by kd7enm
Hey guys, this is Tyler from Oregon. I have a 1980 KZ650 F1 that was passed down from my dad to me. I'm learning how to maintain it a little more, and in the process, will probably have a few questions for you guys.

Here is a picture of it when my dad owned it.

And this is what I have done to it so far.

I made a new backrest for it, new seat, got a $20 windshield for it off craigslist, added some fog lights for extra brightness, sanded the rust and flaking chrome off the mufflers and painted them with black BBQ paint, added the WG coil mod, added highway pegs, and I repainted the tank and trim. I'm thinking about repainting it again to a nice emerald green.
