Welcome aboard, and thank you for your service.

When you start your build thread, be sure to include both before and after pictures so that we all can be suitably amazed at the transformation. Also, lots of good pictures can help the membership help you with difficult or unexpected problems. There will be some of each. Besides, many of the members here are picaholics.
One of the first tools you should acquire is a genuine Kawasalki factory service manual (fsm) for your exact model and year. There may be a downloadable one here under the Articles tab. They also come up for sale on sites like evilbay now and then. The aftermarket manuals from Clymer and Haynes can get you started, but they often lack some of the minor differences between years and models.
Happy wrenching.

Hey Guys! Thanks for the warm welcomes and additional information! Ive attached some quick pictures. Im currently in the process of cleaning the carbs and tank. The fuel level switch is toast and so is the petcock screen so ill be ordering those. The switch seems to be the most difficult in locating, everyone Ive found on line are either out of stock or discontinued. :angry:
