Hello from Texas

01 Sep 2025 08:13

I recently picked up a resto project that I am super excited to get started on. It's a 78 Z1R!! It belonged to a friend that neither had the time, money or skills to complete. I'm planning on a complete nut and bolt restoration. My profession is in classic car restoration. I have owned several bikes in the past, including my favorite 76 green kz900. I look forward to long road ahead on this project with the help of kzrider.com
