Thank You kawsakiman and KZR

I would like to say Thanks to kawsakiman aka (Stefan) I hope I spelled it right this time, for giving me a frame for my 650 free of charge and he even helped with getting it shipped from NY to Florida for free also. I would also like to thank KZR for having a means for all of us Kaw heads to talk about and learn how to fix our bikes by ourselves. (This could not have happened 20 years ago, the info was to spread out before the internet). I have the 650 almost done with a few things left, I did a shakedown run yesterday and all went well. Now if the weather would clear I could finish. My girlfriend said I could put the bike in my dining room to finish it, I have a great girl who understands my passion about my bikes, all of them. If I decide to finish it in the house I will entertain yall with pics. Once again Thanks to kawsakiman and the great members at KZR

I would be interested in hearing from yall about bringing my bike inside to finish. Yea or Nea

Wow, the bike looks great! As far as finishing inside, well if you can manage not to make too much of a mess, why not?

You've done a great job on the bike. When I bring my bike into the basement for winter projects (like new swingarm bushings, steering stem bearings, etc.) I ALWAYS remove the fuel tank first. Even though the odds are one in a million, you don't want to take a chance that the petcock develops a leak, the bike gets knocked over, or some other wierd problem occurs that dumps a couple gallons of gas in your house. Other than that, go for it. Ed

Bike is looking very good... well done! :woohoo:

IMHO and based on more than a little experience, buy that young woman a big bunch of flowers ASAP.

Best of success.

Nice job, my wife said no way when I wanted to bring mine in the living room to put the topend on it. Sounds like kawasakiman went above and beyond on that deal. I wonder if he has a spare KZ900 he could ship me(lol).

Bring the bike inside???? what do u mean buy that?? Doesnt everyone?
i did it in the spare bedroom of my rented bungalow, when i moved in with my girlfreind 26 years ago. we have been maried 25 years now.Now that i have a new house, i bring it down to the basement to remod every winter.
Thanks KZR, for putting on shuch a great web site.

Hardly, and I ain't talking bout the brand, amateurs work on carports in Nebraska in the wintertime, Pros work on the wife's new dining room table whenever necessary.:laugh:

Nice Job Rice, Very Clean!

no thanks needed.
i'm just stoked you busted your ass getting it together.
sometimes things just work out. both of us were in the right situation at the right time.
i was going to cut the frame up for short steel @ the scrapyard. i just happened to stumble across the thread where you needed a frame.
this was something i was going to toss out anyway was a good solution for me.
it was the best of both worlds.
i got rid of the frame and helped a member who in my eyes offers as much as he askes.
your a stand up member who has history here. you don't pop in then leave like a lot of people do.
having my cousin come up from florida and be willing to deliver it to your state was just a bonus. like i said, sometimes karma is good to good people.

i'm really glad you got it. we all have seen how you busted your ass putting it together and that confirms that the right person got it.
i am not trying to toot my own horn here.
i can't describe how happy i am to know it went to a good home and how hard you worked to save one from rotting away.

BIKE LOOKS AWESOME!

hope you were able to register the bike being a ny title.

btw, give a little love to kawtoy.
he was a round about player in this.

your brother would be proud.

the bike looks awesome, you busted your ass in his memory and saved another one.

i can't say enough about why you are a great member here.

again, no thanks are needed. ( fag! :laugh: )

ah jeeze... "i can't say enough about why you are a great member here"...

why don't you two love birds get a room... :blink: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I told him I would show him some love in a Non Faggot way :laugh: :laugh:
