Hello From Bama!

Hi! My name's Bradley and I'm from Huntsville, AL. I just picked up a mostly original '76 KZ900 off of Craigslist. It even came with the original tool kit and owners manual. It does run, but not too well. I'm hoping this can be sorted out with a carb rebuild. I intend to restore it to it's original glory over the winter. This is just as I unloaded it off the truck:

Yep, fortunately they came with the bike, as well as a King/Queen seat :lol:
I do know what I got, but the guy who had it didn't... I ended up buying this beauty for $450
