Hello from Denver, Colorado!

Hello everyone,

Just joined and thought I should share the 82 KZ750 LTD that I have been tinkering on. Also in the garage is a CB650 and Sucker Punch Sally.

Attached is a picture of before she got put back together (working on that, she runs) and before she caught on fire. She runs great now excluding the #2 fuel-ignition problem that I am sorting out this afternoon.

Picked her up not running after she sat for a few years. Engine was sound, carbs had been dipped with diaphragms inside. They were melted in every little nook and cranny.
Made a fiberglass rear end. Then decided to scrap it and chop the rear of the bike off. Made a small seat for that.
Stripped the electronics, no more horn, blinkers, etc or any wiring for them. Wired in a tail light with the running light onto the bottom of the seat I built. Original didn't had a working running light.
Dented in the tank, first time ever trying to make knee indents.
Painted the thing: Wheels, exhaust, tank, lights, etc. Thermal on the exhaust of course, rubber on the rear shocks. Found a cool gold cover at the local scrap yard, so that's on there.

Just needing to inflate the front tire, make some sidecovers and put a mirror on her. I'll mount the remaining electronics to the seat and call it a day.

Hope to see you on the road.

Welcome Chase. My sister lives in Denver. Go Peyton!

And by the way, I don't think we'll be seeing you on the road a whole lot more this year seeing that your up in the mile high city.

Welcome to the site bro. ;)
Remember, don't work on your bike so much you never ride it.
