And now the more 'clear' reason that it is a BAD clone job. You can nit-pick this one into oblivion, but it's always been a really sweet runner...just got it back, got a battery to buy and I'll handle the rest as I go. Making this into my daily driver will keep me from riding my bikes that start with an 'S'... :dry:

Arrrrrggghhhh! Ya know, I love hatin' you guys...no wait... I hate lovin' you guys, yeah, that's it. You guys are like retarded little brothers that know my middle name and keep saying it out-loud on the play-ground while I'm trying to act cool in front of my friends...:dry: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Yes, yes, the KZ650 (C-model please) continues to elude...mostly b/c of my 'blue-light-special' DNA.
But again, this one fell into my lap; and since it used to be in my garage I had first hand knowledge of how much I was going to enjoy it...had to do it.
It's got some issues, but so do I! :S Such as rear-sets via East Side Custom Fabricators, Inc,

Rearsets are entirely to low, swap them left to right and use 83-85 GPz750 shift linkage.
That's what I did to my 750 twin, and they're really comfortable

She looks great from up here in Canada. 
I've always wanted a GPz. And in green she looks good.
I see you have many bikes I lust after in your signature. :woohoo:
