have not been able to cure idle problem, bringing it to a guy that used to make bikes like these into racers in 1980 so i do believe its in very capable hands

Hard to really guess on the idle issue but I just adjusted my bleed screws on a kz650 which were hidden under a metal plug that had to be drilled out. I turned them all in and gave them a full two turns out each. This did wonders for my idle which was pretty rough before but not at 5,000 rpms. if it is that high one of your throttle valves might be stuck open too. Interested to see what the problem ends up being.

thinking of going white with the tank, black for seat and tail
possibly clip on handle bars
i do have a fantastic idea for this bike, i have found pictures of this done to other bikes and I think i could do it myself.

it would not be a functional side car I just want to be able to take my kayak down to the river or lake on my bike!

went to bleed my brakes today and my bleeder screw broke off :blink:
any advice would be helpful guys, im sorta scratching my head at this one
I have seen bikes with only one brake assembly on the front wheel but mine has TWO and didnt know if could just take this one off and rig it some other way.
