Hello from Northern Ireland

Thought i'd join & steal all the knowledge here, nearly everything i googled provided a link to this forum!!

So, i've bought a (1978 registered) 1977 model KZ750 Twin which im turning into a cafe racer. I'm amazed by the knowledge some of you guys have especially Steell who has already helped me out with my brake upgrade.

So thats me saying hello & i hope im not too much of a burden!

Steve

welcome Steve

pictures ........


lot of folks saving those twins around here too

Welcome to KZR Steve...I second what Trianglelaguna said...pictures?

Ok guys, here are some pics from the advert i bought it from, im kinda reluctant to post them as the bike is pretty clean & im basically cutting it up!

Well, i've stripped as much as i can off at the minute as im rebuilding the starter clutch & repairing a small crack in the casing that was causing a small oil leak, then im firing it up before i take her to bitds & get the angle grinder out!

Fingers crossed!! Im not looking forward to making my own seat, i think thats gonna be the biggest nightmare, a friend will be doing a full rewire for me.

wow nice ,really nice.....those 750 K twins are cool

Welcome Steve. I lived in Co. Down, just outside Banbridge, for about 5 years. I would've loved to have a KZ while I was over there!

seats aren't as hard as u might think, I've done a couple, let me know when u get to that point and welcome

My grandpa was from Ireland

Thank you all for the warm welcome guys, this seems a really decent place to be!

Man thats such a help but you may regret saying that! lol. I've a battery box to make as well that i hope to have room for most of the electrics in to give it that 'see through' look, I thnnk the seat is going to have to be 3 pieces inc the battery compartment. All has to be made from scratch.

Really? Where was he? (desipte waht you nay think guys everyone in Ireland do not know each other! :lol:)

Oh aye! I know that area! I went through there to take the scenic route up to the giants causeway. I really liked seeing Lough Neagh.
