New guy from NOVA

Hey all,

Bought my first KZ this year in July...I now own 4 pre-83 bikes. Two KZs. A 81 KZ440 LTD that was my first and experimenting bike and a 82-83 KZ550A.

I have a build thread over on DTT under the same screen name.

Anyhow, looking forward to chatting and all that jazz.

Yay.

83 KX550A
82 GS450

When in doubt...brute force.

Hey Nick. Hopefully I'll get one of these damn KZs running in the next few months and see you on the roads in the spring.

Hey Doogie, I'm in Arlington and working on an 81 KZ750 LTD. Hopefully I get her at least up and running by spring time....she'd been sitting for 12 years. I'll figure out what to do from there. We should catch a ride once we get these babies running.

Hey man, good luck with the 750. Mine had been sitting for 10 years and I got it running pretty quickly. Mine is only needing new controls to be wired and some fine tuning in the carb...got to install a new jet kit just haven't had the time.

Let me know if you need any help!
