Hello and Thank you! (New)
31 Jul 2013 20:22
Hey everybody,
After lurking the forums for a few months, I've finally set up an account. My father (Jack, but you may know him by his handle "bluej58") and I have been working on a 78 KZ650 -- which runs great!
I wanted to thank everyone for all the help given while my dad and I were working on this, especially Ed for the center-stand spring.
I look forward to talking and riding with some of you guys in the future!
Cheers,
Zach

love that 4-in-1 man looks sharp. My Son and Daughter are both wanting to do what you have. But they are 11 and so they have a wait ahead of em 
Nice ride!

Nice ride!
