Count me in too. Original owner of my LTD, all stock but dyna-s and coils.

ive had 2 of those over the years,neither of them were that nice though!

I'm in along with (us small guys gotta stick together) 650ed. I've owned my 650 since day one. Had a Kerker on it but now am back to stock. When is our first meeting? lol

ah.....ah....on the fence...stock engine era mods...i am no purist...i just prefer my kawasakis to have kawasaki stuff from that era....i am old and reliving my youth...with newer tires and sprockets with teeth...
i now change brake pads that before were still plenty good....i do high tech stuff too sometimes...i am gonna change some fork oil...and maybe balance some carbs soon.....

this is the before picture...soon it will be much different...but no nitro-no turbo-no ,....nothing that cant be done off the shelf with a wal mart socket set....
and some scrap lumber and used parts...

to me...this would be the perfect era look..nothing fancy..nothing high tech...just a KZ

I have to agree with you. Only thing I'd change would be to throw on an LTD front fender to balance the chopped off rear fender. Speaking of which, your fender eliminator, is there a thread on that?

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You guys are almost making fun of our stock bikes. :blink:

Try taking a cammed, carbed, and podded 900/1075 down the Baja Peninsula in the middle of July in 115+ degree heat running on 85 octane gas and let me know how far you get.

those are easy to make, went to the hardware store and got some metal stock, bent it up in a vice and welded some tabs on it for mounting , there are kits out there for that though, check out the z1oc.com, there,s a thread on it over there, the kits come out of the UK

get rid of that damn coke can ! :laugh:
and put the back fender on you 7' tree huggen freak! :laugh:

I'm in... 550 and 750 LTD's. I have a hard enough time keeping them running stock, let alone mod'ing!

cmon guys, i wanna be a part of this thread. i promise i will keep it stock!:laugh:

So long as aftermarket exhaust doesn't rule me out, count me in!

Is the key requirement "unimpressive" or "stock"? Or both?

Some of these stock bikes look pretty impressive to me. Some bikes that may not be 100% stock may still fail to impress.
