Hi from Ireland was created by agnogel
Hello all great site you have here , I bought a 1980 KZ 550 A1 non runner in June of this year with 6500 miles on her that had sat outside in our famous rain for the last four years, she was every bit the sorry state for neglect so my son Peter jr set about restoring it and we completed the job last weekend and took her for her maiden ride, we had to refurbish ever nut and bolt on her i have to say not ever owening or riding a Kawasaki before i was very suprised with the power, handleing and comfort of the bike my other ride is a 1991 Honda Goldwing 1500, Feel free to let me know what you think of her Thank you for looking
The first pic is of her the day we took her home i have pics of the rebuild if any one is interisted

Welcome to KZR agnogel. Nice restoration you did there. I know what you mean about every nut and bolt restoration. Went through it myself. I'm impressed you have been able to do it in such a short span. Love the dog, LOL.

Edit: I think everybody would enjoy seeing the pictures of your recent restoration. Just post them in the project section. Nice think is you will have it documented and off site from your computer as well as it being available for others to enjoy.
