First try at powder coating. I luckily work at a manufacturing plant with a fully functioning tool shop which includes a sandblaster, powder coating gun and oven.
Tail light is ordered along with the rear blinkers. Seat is off and being shaped and re-upholstered. I'm thinking within a week I can be up and running.

Bike sputters and doesn't produce sufficient power from about 1200-3000
i say check your timing advancer , make sure its free or rust and it turns freely .
may not be the problem but its something you should do anyways and its easy .

4-1 came with the bike along with the aftermarket rear shocks. It's really loud.
Richard_oxon, ill check that out. I believe part or all of the problem to be bad carb boots. When I spray carb cleaner anywhere around them the idle jumps.

Seat needs to be reupholstered obviously and I need to get it running right but it's really close.
Blinkers, tail light and new master cylinder (thanks pappy) on he way.
Anyone ever take off on of the caliper/rotors and just run one front brake? I think that's on my list. it would look much cleaner and should function near the same.

-How universal is the clutch lever? Would one from an 83 kz750 l3 fit on an 82 kz750 ltd?
-I bought new Dyna 7mm Copper Core spark plug wires and B8ES spark plugs. This combination is what's preferred in these bikes right? After reading through a lot of spark plug threads I'm worried I have no resistance?
