78 KZ650 Rider from Denver

Hey guys, my name is Josh. I just acquired a 1978 650, I can't wait to learn more about the bike and get on the road this summer! I will post pictures of it soon. My friend owns an body shop, so I am going to paint the tank, fenders and side covers, and get it shiny! It currently has a crappy rattle can job (seriously, who paints over the emblems!?)


Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all.

Best Regards,
Josh

Welcome to the site Josh, and to the Mile High Chapter of KZR. There's a huge knowledge base here on 650's and I know of a couple of other guys down in Denver with 650's too.

Have fun!
