New Guy from Virginia
26 Mar 2011 13:28
Hey guys. I'm a new guy from Virginia and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Bryan and I have a Kawasaki Z1 900. I haven't riden it in awhile and I want to make it a street fighter so I'm glad I found this sight. Thanks!

Welcome to KZR! Let me be the first to mention, although it is your bike, if you have a 1973 Z1, most folks here, including me, will discourage you from any permanent changes to the frame/geometry/motor. If you have a 1973 w/matching VIN's, then you have a diamond. Don't permanently alter it.

Pictures and specifics are required. Until then I'm an unbeliever. But be aware if you have a early 900 and you are going to mod it you will be taking some grief from the lads. :whistle:

Welcome! What part of Virginia are you from? I'm just south of Charlottesville in Nelson County. I'll second (or third or fourth) the call for pics.
