Hello all,

I am a new member to this forum, Great site! Can't post any pics of my rides yet but look forward to all the future discussions! I have a 79 650SR, and an 83 750LTD project in the works. I've posted a question in the engine catagory and would trully appreciate some expert advice as I am just a novice wrench turning grease monkey.

Anyway greetings from KC.

Hello, RyDaddy and WELCOME to KZR! :)
We're glad you're here! :cheer:

Am following your thread on the 83 750LTD in the engine category, and believe some responses will soon be forthcoming.

Good Luck! :)

Thanks for the warm welcome, and thank you Patton for the ebay listing and advice. This will be my third restore project and the only one I want to ride. Right now all I can do is daydream about how great it will be when when she starts breathing again. If you could elaborate on your last post on my other thread as far as "light honing" and what to expect from that and a new piston and rings I will be in your debt.

Thanks in advance to everyone!
