Hello KZR!

Hello, Old lurker here, just joined so I can be a part of this great commuinty. I own a 77' KZ1000/900, meaning 903 engine and 1000 everything else. A friend of mine went through my bike a few years ago and had it running when we found out there was a bad idler allowing the cam chain to slap the cam cover. After sinking quite a bit of money into this bike and never getting to the point of riding and finding out the bad news it has sat in my garage for all that time. Lately I have had more time to do things at home (3-12 hr.days at work)so I've decided to start working on my bike again, in the hope that I can get it to running and riding condition. Some of the things that were done before I bought the bike are V&H 4-1 megaphone,dyna ignition,Old Accel coils,port job(my buddy said this was done better than his stage 2 Cope racing head and was amazed, chrome engine covers, K&N Z-bars(euck!),highway bars(double euck!)and some aftermarket bodywork(chin spoiler and headlight fairing). Some of the horrible things I've done to the bike will be exposed as I start a thread for it and document my teardown and build. Thank You for your time and have a great weekend!

It is a labor of love. At least you have a real bike to work on instead of a Harley; Welcome to the sit.

Do you know what the similarity is between a Harley and a man's dog?
