Hey all:

I just bought my first KZ,a 1978 650 SR. Dark green in color,18k miles.Runs strong,has plenty of snort for a 33 year old bike. I am in need of a seat at the moment,amongst other things like turn signals and a tach cluster.The upolsted plywood thats on it at the moment does not do it or my backside and justice. I am gonna make a cafe racer out of it.
Will submit a pic of the bike when I am off work.

My other daily rider is a oilhead... 1998 BMW R1100RT sport touring bike.

Thanks

Perry
