New Member in Pittsburgh, PA - Hello Everyone!

Hi! My name is Bear and I'm a vintage bike enthusiast and builder here in Pittsburgh, PA. My most recent build was a restomod 73' Suzuki GT250. Now I'm building a 78' KZ750B into a mild street tracker/bratstyle hybrid. So far here is progress:

Upgraded VM32 Mikunis with CNC manifold adapters
Ducati 12' Hypermotard FMC - Stainless Lines
Kawasaki 05' 636 RBMC - Stainless Lines
Frame cut and hooped

Among other things, everything has been powdercoated minus the tank which has been painted 15' Mercedes SLR silver pearl.
I'll keep coming back with updates, here is a big gallery of everything so far! Happy to be here!

Hey Bear. I'd say welcome but I'm just as new here as you. I'm near Pittsburgh too. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Heyy! Maybe I'll see you around in the season sometime, not too many KZs in the city that I have seen over the last few years.

Yea. Maybe we will run into each other. I'm a little east of Pittsburgh. Now that this season is over I have quite a bit to do to mine, probably not as much as you are doing to yours. I'm not quite that confident in my abilities to get it all back together. :)
