Hello, new member here. I have a bastardized KZ750 that I was given. The previous owner was turning it into a cafe racer, but quit after stripping the wiring harness, chopping off the tail, and doing some seriously suspect welding to fit a flat seat. Mechanically it seems OK; I am going to complete the conversion, hopefully doing a better job than the previous owner!

Welcome in!

It’s fun taking on other people’s problems isn’t it? Any pics to show us what you’re starting with?
