New meat in Florida was created by kenthewrench

Hi guys and gals Ken here,just bought a 1980 KZ1000 shaft model from a customer of mine after a couple of failed deals to buy a ZRX1200. Price was right at $500,so I'll tinker,paint,mod,and ride it some then get somethin newer. Who knows,it would make a great 2nd bike to have around. Thanks and ride safe all!!!!! Ken

Welcome to KZR Ken. Which part of Florida do you hail? Any pictures of your new ride? Is it a runner? Sounds like you got a great deal.

Welcome to the club.. There are a few of us Sunshine Staters here.. Good second bike? Sounds like a good primary bike to me.

Lets see some pics!

Hmm ya I might be interested in the 4-1,and maybe ignition too. If you could send his number via PM I'd appreciate it. Thanks---Ken
I have a bike shop in Melbourne,FL. and live next town over in Palm Bay,FL. We're about half way down on the east coast,just below Cocoa Beach.
For now it IS gonna be my primary bike since I sold my BMW R1200RT. Its not running presently,its missing exhaust,and I have to go through carbs from sitting about 2yrs. Its in great shape considering. Gotta get rid of the narly king queen seat. Ick!!! I hate those things. Glad to be here,hope to have some fun. Thanks----Ken
