i have some questions, help!
05 Jul 2012 02:20
Hey, my names landon and i just bought a 1983 kz550 as my first bike. I just wanted somebody to help me and tell me about my bike. specs, model, ideas? Its purple right now and has a broken clutch lever (still able to ride tho). I plan on painting it in the next few days, ive been thinking about kawasaki green, grey or black. But those are just some ideas. I was wanting to know what were some styles i could go for? ive heard of cafe racer? bobber? but dont know what they look like. I am all about going fast so my main question is what is the best website to get performance parts and what are the best things to do, so i can get max performance. Please help me. Thanks.

Welcome to z-jungle!
the best thing to do is get everything on it in good working order and learning to ride it before worrying about high performance stuff for it

Wireman has the best advice. Make it run like a Deere and make it safe. In the mean time you should peruse the gallery here. Many ideas and spectacular bikes! Remember be safe and have fun. Great group here too. Full of ideas and information. Some are full of other stuff too. Me included..... you will soon be able to recognize the differences. :woohoo:
