Well she's home... B)

Long story short... Somewhat... :S

1) Wife wasn't comfortable on the KZ and wanted a cruiser... Uggggghhhhh...

2) Found this beauty, guy wanted $1950, non running due to electrical problems. Had already spent $1200 ( :blink: ) shop on new electrical harness, alternator, starter, battery.... Still no go.

Kelley Blue Book for Fair running voyager ~ $2125....

So, I ride my KZ over there and hit him with this.
"No way you're going to get that price when KB is about the same for a running bike." Due to electrical issues/short circuits, possibly took out the rectifier, regulator, CDI etc... ~ $1k if I'm lucky...

I know I know, bull shit right.... As you can see, these old girls can nickle & dime you hard as in my 76 KZ.... So offered him $1200, told him to think about it and give me a call if interested.
20 minutes later, says come and get her for I know you'll take care of her.

Just got her home so downloaded the OEM manual, find the starter lock out and possibly get real lucky... :evil:

Here she is....

Looks like a clean bike and a good buy. Just do the coil mod on 'er and she'll be ready to roll. ;)
