Hello all,
I have been a biker for years. I ride a honda nc750x dct at the moment but also enjoy the old machines. I have just purchased a 1980 kawasaki kz650 ltd which needs restoring. Searching the net for information, i came across this forum. Some very interesting information so hopefully i can get some advice from you guys.
cheers

I am in Norfolk. It is a good solid bike. I have had a brief look and it seems to have a few electrical issues. I will post on the correct section when i get some pics. I will definitely need some advice from the more experienced.
