NEW from NEW JERSEY!

Nice looking Sportster.

I've been eyeballing your ride for ideas, hope you don't mind. Especially, the chin spoiler. What's it from? Your ride is awesome, you've done some amazing things to it. Kudos!

Thanks KZ.
Ideas come from all over, mine being borrowed from others before.
The chin scopp is off a Honda VF500. 750s & 1000s had them too, slightly larger.
A picture from when I first mounted it:



It's off now as I've hit it on curbs a few times, and limits clearance.


Your kz650 looks like it will not need much overall to be a good runner.
Tank has 1977 C1 colour and pin striping.
Rest tells me she's a '79.
Enjoy, have fun, and ride safely.

...thanks, it really is a nice ride. Got a lotta snap to it and sounds awesome. The Screamin' Eagle pipes, Kuryakyn velocity stack and jetting make it very responsive!

...it honestly won't need much to get it running tip-top. It'll be getting it the way I want it to look that will take the time.

...OK, I wasn't sure about the tank. Everything else seems to be '79.

...oh, I intend to have fun and ride safely. Kinda hard at times, but at 58, I no longer need to set land speed records. Thanks for the info.
