Really new. I mean really.

Hello All,
I am new to Kawasaki and Japanese bikes in general. My first love is vintage American bikes. My other ride is 1950 FL custom. I fell in love with a 1984 750 GPz a few weeks ago that was apart and have spent in succeeding weeks putting her together. She is running now but I am trying to get the carbs sorted. Thanks, Roger

Welcome! Sweet looking bike. Go to the carb section and you will see that you might have to clean the carbs more than once. Check the intake boots for air leaks. Roy

Wow, thanks for the replies. Normally on other forums you just post with no response. Thanks for the suggestion I will post over in the carb section.

Here she is as of now, I have to finish some welding and brake fitting (Harley was still making mechanical brakes as of 50'). I am then going to paint her.
