New Old KZJ1 was created by baddleespelt

Just got this 1981 J1 and thought I'd crash the party so as to get aquainted with my bike and the sort of folks who might appreciate my "outdated", mostly stock ... and highly prized (by me) new obsession. Hopefully I can figure out how to post a photo.

Actually, the J models share much with the North American R1/R2 models and can be relatively easily cloned to resemble the R models...the European R2 models have a different rake than the North American R1/2 models.
