New guy from Sweden
10 Oct 2023 10:50 - 12 Oct 2023 18:22
Hey guys!
Been a long time lurker here, even had my account for quite some time but never got around posting anything.
I inherited my passion for old Kawasakis from my dad who was an absolute Zed Head, he had 4 of them when I grew up so naturally it became "the" bike for me.
Currently working on restoring a '77 KZ1000A1 with some modern bits and a pretty extensive engine job, the goal is to have her up and running by summer 2024.
Been working on the bike for almost three years, slowly chipping away, buying parts when I've had money to spare.
Reckoned I should introduce myself here since I thought about starting a new topic about the project, if you guys are interested of course.
Best regards
Elias B
Stockholm, Sweden
