New here from Canada

            I just found a ‘77 kz200 for cheap, it’s essentially a bike in a box, I’m making arrangements to go pick it up in the next week or so.

I’m looking at cdi conversion and hydraulic disk brake conversion 

after studying pictures of the front brake I think I have an off the shelf solution to gain hydraulic disc brake.

Welcome from Canada! 

A buddy had a KZ200.
I was surprised it had a cable activated front disk brake.

Mechanical disk brakes weren’t uncommon in Japanese motorcycles and small dune buggies

As soon as I pick this up, hopefully this weekend, I’ll be starting a project thread.
