I'm glad to see that you decided to hang on to this project. Welcome back. Looks like the fire didn't do any damage that can't be repaired.

mine is close...you will dig it!!!

i saw some pictures of the painted body parts and am hoping for a break in the weeks of rainhere for this sat-sun to post some pics and finish some more of my changes...shooting for mid-april to have it done enough top start riding and adjusting the final do-hickies......

you might wanna powerwash that sucker while it is down that far...any paint that peels will let you know where you wanna head when it's running...it may be you go all out later after riding it for a while and take it down to the frame agian...the bike is worth it!!!

I'm glad i'm hanging on to it. honestly I have a short attention span when it comes to project but this one just feels special (corny I know) but seriously there's something about it.

I'm really on the fence about buying this wiring harness cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-kawasaki-kz...ssories#ht_860wt_939
I checked bike bandit and there are different wiring harness' for each bike in 79'

Might be helpful to compare the images of both bike's wiring harnesses as shown on kawasaki.com

Good Fortune! :)
