I found another bike

Quick old man... Buff out them cases... :laugh: :laugh:

Question, are those Handle bars (rise) stock on a LTD?
I see the turn signals mounted on them, I guess I just never realized that's how they where mounted or is that PO or your concept....

Anyhoot, nice Roy, that is looking really sweet!

Damn I live this site for project images....
Serious KZ Porn, no doubt about it... Schwing!

I do believe that is a stock bar. I have three sets of them.

Stock signals too.

Years ago i went to the Kawi dealer to order front signals.
I asked for KZ900B signals and the dealer told me i really wanted KE100 signals and they are the same signal with a diffrent part number but half price.

I wish there were dealers like that now. Roy

I can't talk Thomas into buffing the cases out. :laugh:

I'll start on them after i get all the covers shiny.

I buffed out the hub lightly. Roy

This talk about buffing cases out is got to cease.:blink:

That is a lot of work.

I deciced on the black paint. I need to finish the body parts,brakes,carb cabl,carbs,handle bars and i'm sure some more odds and ends.

I really need to figure out how to get the rear brake lever spring on.

This bike is lower than my other bike. It has got to come up. Seat height is 29".

I don't want to sand. I don't want to sand.

Wrong handle bars. By one inch.

I got to work on the bike today. (rained out)

I got the lights sorted out. There was one bulb only in the insturment cluster! I had bought two boxes from z1enterprises a couple of weeks ago so i was good there.

I had to change out the handle bars as i can't find the LTD bars. The original bars were rusty.

Jetted the carbs down to 20/117.5 from 20/120. I think that should work.

Tomorrow i install carb filters,finish brakes, and get the tank and duck tail painted.

After that there is engine parts to polish. Notice the broken fin. (bummer)

I have another head but i am just going to ride the bike the way it is. Roy

I rode the bike today. 4.9 miles. It is going to be a good one.
Started out trying to get 1+4 to fire. I had to remove the carbs and check the float height. I thought i had them right yesterday!

It took me about 30 minutes of tinkering with the carbs to get them right. It will idle down to nothing. That's great.

One issue i had was a plug wire end that came loose on me twice.I replaced it.

It took me three hours to get the brakes bled and assembled. I can't find the right spring for the rear brake. Driving me nuts trying to install the wrong one.

I really wanted to work on the body parts today but we got a lot of work done.

I also installed some K+N air filters that i had bought on eBay. I paid $10.00+shipping for them in July of 08. It's good to pick up on parts you don't need at the time. Saved a few bucks.

I also found another Kerker exhaust can while i was looking for parts this morning. Love that Kerker sound.

Maybe paint before next weekend. I really want to take this bike to a poker run i ride in every year. Roy

No paint yet. I just got back from a 30 mile ride. The bike has good power.
I suspect i have a weak coil. The longer i rode the more of a miss i had above 3400 rpm.
Dyna coils are priced right from Jeff so i might order a set tomorrow.

I'm ready for Ohio. lots of quality used parts for sale. Roy

wow man,
Nice find...$400 deals aren't going to come around often.
Nice turn around on this bike...

Must be nice having all the parts handy too.
I need to find a parts bike(or several)
