1980 kz 550 ltd

Hi all,

Recently purchased a 1980 kz550 ltd. And looking forward to getting it on the road. Still gathering ideas on how I want the finished bike to look but Like some of the cafe racer style bikes.
Being a complete newbie to restoring bikes but having a metal working background I will be relying on sites like this for a lot of technical help.
For the moment I will try and get the bike running better and then plan out how to tackle it, no hurry as it's a long term project.
Thanks for all the info available on the site.
