Hello from Berwyn IL was created by birgirb
I am the proud new owner of a 80-81 KZ550, I say 80-81 because the bike did not come with a title so I got a 81 frame/engine that came with a title off Craigslist.
I got it started but it only ran on #1 and #2 so I plan and trying out the other engine.
As you can see from the picture the prior owner stylishly covered the seat in duct tape, anyone know of a good place to get that recovered in the Chicagoland area? :)

The plan is to get it running now and then spend the winter taking it apart and putting it back together.

I have read through a bunch of the posts on here and this seems to be an awesome resource for new and struggling KZ onwers :)
