Hey all, here is my clean up and repair of a kz 750. The dark blue is before and bright blue is after. (sorry for the bad before quality)

What I did to it?
Cleaned it, thoroughly!
Replaced starter clutch/oil filter/air filter/starter solenoid/speedo + tach tables.

Very nice work. Those 750 twins are a lot of fun. Did you put on new tires?

I actually did not put those tires on, but they are very new from what I can tell!




I honestly don't care for those tires, I feel like if I lean too much I'm going to run out of tread, so I keep it nice and slow lol.

I'm trying to sell the bike to get another project, I am off of school for the next 4 weeks and need something to keep me busy, what do you think a fair price for the bike would be? I have it on CL for $2000 OBO. I figure ill take anything 1800+. I only have $850 invested in the whole project, including the price of the bike so I think I'll make a decent profit.

Man they ruined those bikes with the giant side covers. Makes it look portly.

Those bikes make really cool café racers. Good luck.
