yet another new guy was created by desertstormvet
My name is Jerry am a veteran building the bike for a veterans ride next year I chose a 1981 KZ440.Am new to the world of kawasaki, but have rode for 15 years. this is my second bike that needed rebuilt (first was a 1979 suzuki gt 380) decided on a new direction. it really is not a "bobber" not really a "cafe" its going to be a little of both (I hope). the pics show some of the changes some subtle others (like the galvanized pipe exhaust) not so much.
If speed is a matter of money why aint I slower than i am?
