Radhawk82 from Iowa

Hello everyone. I'm from the lovely hamlet of Iowa. I have an 82 KZ550 LTD bone stock with only 6400 miles on it. My Dad bought it brand new the year I was born and it is the bike I learned to ride on. I've had many differant bikes along the way and I just recently had to part with the very first brand new bike I ever bought, a 2007 ZX14 Ninja. So now its time to dust off the old KZ and get riding again.

I just looked over the new ZX14 at the Chicago show...what a beast!
Any plans for the 550?
My 1st new bike was a 81 KZ650 CSR

Welcome, Radhawk. Where are ya in Iowa? I am in Cedar Rapids

Hey Genius. The 14 is a beast I still miss it but it was probably a good move that thing was too damn fast LOL! As for my 550 I am going to put new handle bars, shocks, chain, sprockets, maybe paint, and if I can find it and old 4 into 1 kerker or murray exhaust. I had a Mac header and single pipe from dennis kirk on there but it sounded like ass and drug on ground when I was cornering right, Scary. So I will probaly scour the site I'm sure with this many people someones bound to know someone, right? Anyways have a good day and here is a pic of my 14. I know this is a KZ site but its a KAW too!

Hey kztee. I'm in Boone Iowa. I come thru Cedar Rapids every now and again but I'm always on a train!
