Not a new member but a new owner

I first posted in the Carb section asking about this bike, but since I just bought it, I figured I should introduce myself. When I went and checked this out, I got him to drop in price some more, needs rear turns, a side cover and has some minor dings and scratches but it runs great. Tons of fun, feels so small (in size not power) Feels like I can just flick it around. Particularly because I'm used to riding my father in law's vtx.

Here's my brand new to me (and my first bike) 1983 GPZ550 with less than 7k miles.

I've got all kinds of plans for it, but I'm going to try to just it enjoy it this year and play with it over the winter.

Good deal.
Nice bike.

Very nice looking bike. Enjoy it.

Great looking bike. I hate you. I had an 82 that I should never have sold.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty stoked. Bought the bike an hour from home while visiting cousins in the area and stashed the bike in one of their garages after the purchase. Going back to grab the bike today and bring it home. By birthdays in a couple weeks so i spent last night looking into presents for me and the bike. Like I said, gotta get new turn signals right off the bat, plus the aftermarket grips and stock mirrors aren't my taste. For now I'll be going to small changes, mostly black not too much flash.

Then in the winter, I'm hoping to graft a kz650 tail onto it, ducati monster tail light and get a new side cover. I might lose the fairing and put a single round headlight up front

Nice. If you sell the fairing, hold out for top dollar. They are getting very hard to find.

Can't see a lot of the work I've gotten done, but here is where she stands. New turns front and rear, with solid state flashers and relays to allow 2wire turns to act as running and turn signals. Got a new smaller battery, relocated to the tail. Cleaned up all of the PO's shoddy wiring. Removed the fairing and one side cover. Changed filters, plugs and wires. New grips and bar ends, a phone mount as well as a USB charger wired in.
