Hi from Southwest Ontario

Thanks to all for the years of input here. I've used your posts (along with my shop manual) to rebuild my 1973 KZ400. It's been a challenge, as my bike is a weird Canadian amalgam of European, Australian, and American elements. I had to use 4 wiring diagrams to figure out how to re-wire the thing. I'll soon be asking questions in the engine forum. Thanks again!

Welcome Joe.
Yes, photos please :)

The CVMG rally at Paris fairgrounds is always worthwhile. The swap meet on Saturday June 15, 2019 is open to non members and the parking lot is usually just as interesting as whsts inside

Only about 3 more months or so until riding season !

Welcome Joe. from T.O.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
