Hello, from Ontario

Hey all. My lastest purchase has brought me here in search of info, it's an 83 KZ750L3. She's a basket case and I intend to build it up slowly...CR carbs, 810 kit etc.

Been a KZ guy for a long time, my first one was a 77 KZ650 way back in 1990. I have 3 KZ750's at the moment ( 2 Twins and now the L3 ) as well as a GPz550 and a Suzuki T500. Looking forward to getting involved on the forum.

Pic of my daily rider 76 KZ750B1, I did quite a bit to it last year...KZ1000 dual disk setup, 750 Zephry shocks, clubmans, new skins, rebuilt the carbs, tune up etc. I also have a bobber/fighter project 84 KZ750K2.

whereabouts in ontario are you?

Welcome!

I'm in Owen Sound.

Welcome!
Nice bike!

Hi and good to see you found us. Lots of helpful people here and tons of info if you have the time to read old forum topics. Ive been meaning to visit my buddy up near your neck of the woods, hes in Chatsworth, maybe we can go for a tour.
Nice corral of toys you have.

Welcome M357.5! You have a serious case of motorcycle affliction...I like that

Hello back from SW Ontario, the big town of Embro.. lol.. guess the nearest city would be Woodstock.

Nice ride, she's a real sweetheart..

Thanks guy's for the welcome. And yes I have motorcycle ADD. I'd be up for a ride later in the season for sure, recovering from shoulder surgery still but should be good to go by mid summer I hope.

Hey Capt, you going to be at the Paris swapmeet, fathersday weekend ? I'll be there vending as long as I can get a hand here loading up Thursday night. If not I'll be wandering around there buying more stuff I dont need LOL.

Greetings. I'm about an hour south of you.

Hey, I seem to have bought your old KZ750L, small world indeed. Out of curiosity, do you happen to have any left over parts from your build, I'm looking for a few bits n' pieces.

If you dont mind I'd like to pop over for a visit sometime to check out your project, Donny was telling me a bit about it, and I've scanned through your build thread here just now.....very nice.

I'm hoping to be there, a friend of mine attends it regularly so I'll probably make an appearance with him.

Sure. give me a call (I'll PM you my number).
The build has come to a grinding halt because of my lack of fabrication/mechanical skills. Not sure what to do about it-trying to figure out an economical path forward.

I don't think I have anything left over that didn't go with the bike to Don. I'll check though.
