TX here.

Whats up, I'm Mine20 from South TX. I just picked up 2 Kawasaki's today. 1 78 650kz and 1 79 650sr. The 78 is running just needs brake shoes, push cable, and tires. 79 was a parts bike for the 78 but it's complete at the moment and has a seized motor. The 78 will be on the road shortly and the sr will be my project bike. My goals are to have the 78 as a cafe racer style bike and the 79 as a rat bobber.

I also have an 07 Honda Shadow Custom. All work was done by me in my garage. It was a fun build which took just shy of 2 years. About the only thing stock on it is the gas tank.

Once the builds start I will keep you all posted.

take care,
M20

Thanks for the welcome fellas. The 78 should be fairly quick (3-6 months) It's running just needs tires, push cable, and brake pads. Then the cosmetics. The 79 will be a good 2 year project.

I have more pics in my gallery of both kawasaki's and my Honda. Enjoy!
