Hello for the first time from Manhattan Illinois

My father bought his 76 900 brand new. A couple of years later when I was born he completely rebuilt the bike from the ground up. 1075 kit, blueprinted, pinstripe flame paint, Mage wheels, chrome, and the list goes on. I grew up getting rides on the tank until I was big enough to hold on the back. There is something about kz's that make them standout above all bikes that only kz lovers understand. Unfortunately my father passed away last year and my mother gave me the bike. I am very happy to own the bike now but I would give it back in heart beat to get dad back. My bike is getting completely rebuilt again buy a bike builder in Indiana by the name of Larry from lhkaws. In a couple of months it will be done and I will be riding the he'll out of it. Keep me in mind if any of you live around my area when you ride this summer!

Nice story, good for you! Sorry for your lose.
I hope this Larry guy is a family friend, good guy. I hope he knows the KZ. I hope he does you and your memories proud!
And don't forget, money don't matter in this kind of project. Just do it. Always check here, cause there are plenty of used parts avalible. If you happen to need something. Just ask!

sorry for your loss. I hope Larry hooks you up. thats a great story and wonderful memories wish I could find the old BSA my unvle used to sit me on

I've heard of Larry. He used to be heard on this site and a few others. Haven't heard from him in a while though. He always sounded like he knew what he was talking about so I'm sure your KZ is in good hands.
