Finally done!!!!!

I finally got all of the problems sorted out (carbs, coils, wiring harness) and took my bike for a shakedown cruise today. A little history: It's a 1980 KZ550 LTD that I got for free from my nephew (he almost killed himself on it and it was only running on 2 cylinders).I started to fix just the problems, but every time I took off a part, I cleaned, polished or painted it. Before I knew it I was doing a complete restoration on the bike. It took me a year and a half (lack of funds) but it was worth it! Thanks to everyone here, I could not have done it without this site.

Here are some pics, what do you think?
