Milking a 77 Kaw

Time to find out what we have here.

Here's some pics to start off.

Chrome polished up real nice.

soft miles

Fine look'n specimen, 'cept for the handlebars. :pinch:

On the other hand, had the bars been installed sooner, the mileage would've been even softer. :lol:

Very nice bike, handsome and clean.

Good Fortune!

Looks like Lester wheels (an excellent choice);

Extended fork tubes -- bike appears to have been tastefully and temporarily done in the chopper-like fashion popular in its day.

Pretty engine with detailed chrome covers, etc.

Rear suspension?? Oh, wait, just saw the shocks.

Good Fortune!

Nice !!!!

Found out some interesting details. The second owner of this kaw purchased it in 1980 in San Diego from a speed shop near his naval base. The bike came with a handful of work orders that are a little hard to read but you can make out most of the basic work it had done from the front end to the big boar kit and jetting work. It turns out this bike is quite the monster. I sure would like to find out how big they went on the engine kit. It wasn't listed on the work order. Cylinder sleeves weren't on the work order either so I figure the big boar kit isn't over a 1075 but I hear they can go all the way to 1350.
