I'm working on a Z650B1 conversion to KZ650B2 this winter (see below), and I spend all my free time thinking about it, and any spare time at home tinkering on it.
I have been neglecting my gf, who is very understanding that I just want to be rid of this hulk, which started as a $300 parts bike, but now is almost running, possibly worth over $1500.
I've been using valuable time at work to track down parts and reading posts so that I can finish this project.
I've told my gf that the proceeds from this project will go to a vacation, but we all know it will go into my next project!
I set goals to have it running by Mar1, which is in just over 2 wks, and sold by Mar 31 so we have vacation money for May. Was this a mistake? Has this caused me this stress that is KZ-holism?

:ohmy:I honestly don't see where you have a problem. However in the event she continues to whine you can always bring in the big guns. Just have here look at this thread. kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&...0071&catid=13#230071

mates in 1979. Haven't even got it home yet but I'm so excited. My son has a 1980 LTD also. Looking forward to some ride time with him. Surely I will become a worse addict after a few hours in the saddle. I just love this bodystyle. There are no others like it.
