TOPIC:

I'm new to this website. I must say that it is full of great information. I had the fortune to stumble onto a 1977 Kz1000 A-1 in pretty good shape. It was ridden to my house and the title signed over to me for $1. Now I'm committed to restoring it to the best of my ability. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

1. Buy a Factory manual (from eBay)...it will show you what you are up against...special tool needs...and ultimately put you in touch with your inner self:)

Welcome. Suggestions:
Put your bike specs and your location under your name in the signature lines; that helps everyone.
Post a photo or two of your $1 find!
Ride that bike- get to know it, clean it , maintain it- then you will know what it may or may not need. Enjoy it!

Nevco48 Thanks for the input. Done and suggested.

To put it plainly. Buy a manual and bond with the bike....but we don't wanna see any new little squiddy bikes runnin 'round here! Luck with her and all the answers you want are here along with some you don't. Yin/Yan

Yep I already have. The book is great. The bike is on a shelf with tags and bags. The frame is prepped and ready for paint. Need to replace steering head brngs along with a ton of other stuff. The carbs need an overhaul as well. Lots of things I will post under the correct topic.

I think you need to ride it to my house where I will promptly give you $2 for it.

You will double your money. Not a bad deal:laugh:
