wutuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!!

Sup boyz! long time kz lover here in the hills of Tn. Owned a few KZs thru the years since high school. Always wanted another as we all do! In 2009 I found a 77 kz1000 b1 basket case for $400 and snagged it up! Tore it down completely and then it got put on the back burner for a divorce/triple bypass/early retirement all in about a 2 year period. Took me awhile to get back up after the "life kick in the nuts" but even go thru all that I never let that KZ go determined to turn her into my brain child. She sat in pieces in boxes and crates until this past summer where i finally said its time! After 5 years I thru her back together for a mock up just to see where it stood. So far ive found 2 missing floats in the carb (diagnosed that overflow problem...lol)...A tube fused used for a needle under a 3rd float (yes a tube fuse!). And a gpz1100 4-2 exhaust so she sure is living up to her basket case name!! Im going for a 6" stretch bagger style. Cause im not a stock kinda guy or do i wanna drag it...just always loved the look of the drag bike...and once I went full fairing on my vulcan classic and never looked back. PLUS Ive never seen a stretched and dressed KZ. I want her to be a one of....and she shall!!! Well heres my wutup im here! Im sure ill be picking yalls brain for some crazy shit here real soon. Sry bout the long/bs intro...but it is it what is....i am who i am...like it or leave it!

Welcome to KZR...if you decide you might not want that GPz exhaust, post a photo or two and I might be interested.

z1enterprizes, z1parts inc are good places for new parts. Ebay for used and jetsrus for carb and small parts. Shop around and you can save a lot of $ that way. I'm with you. I tried the saddle bag bit but went back to my hard bags. I had a Wind Jammer fairing years ago but it loaded my front end down too much. This time I have a wind shield and a dash for my tunes. It was for a CB but now there's a combo unit I can use instead. Just have to put my pennies together for it. Here's some pic's.

Be careful of eBay. It's starting to be infested with Craig flakes and sharks.

Awesome Ed, i was beginning to think I was the only one in Tn around here. And yes swest im very aware of craig flakes...We have a couple locally that just disect and sell bikes and it pains me. Im only using ebay for budget parts...ill go to z1 for new when the budget changes.
