so.......................please in detail, explain the vigorous 32 point safety inspection lol

Obviously operational turn signals are not on the daily safety check list

or a chain guard

I've got so many Whys??? I don't even know where to start.
No rear brake, right side hand shifter (so you can't use the front brake when downshifting) , turning radius of an Amtrak train and a hard tail rear that probably flexes more than some fishing rods.
And all for only $6,000!

Not to mention, it looks uncomfortable as all get-out, missing a bunch of safety equipment. It's been on CL for a while now, the person keeps re-listing it :\

Did he mis-type the price??? Did he ad a 4th digit a 0 is it $600?
I actually think it is cool! I would put a car bucket seat on it. I have a new KZ400 to trash. My son is learning to chop, modify and weld. I might let my son go to town on our KZ400. More ridiculous the better!~ (LOL) drive it around the Drag Strip and local cruise nights!

One of those good vendors!

I use this Guy and his Wife for keys! I needed one for this little J1TL 1965 Kaw i bought. He said he had blanks. Then wrote back and said he was wrong? He did not have a blank. But continued to write, "I have an original Kawasaki key" with my # 273. He said I will send you this one! He said Guard it with your life! Now that is service! I have purchased several Keys from these people. Always good!

So I don't know politics here but WTF? This is a good source! So IMO any thing good is good here. I have not seen a lot of names lately in the forums. I think anyone that helps us Guys should be welcome just MO

Another KZ 650 1979. I missed out on by 2 hours! From craigslist. Western New York, Buffalo. Original ad had $ 500 B/O!
I don't know what this Guy paid? But I do know him from other parts deals and sales.
But it is probably more rough than good! Head would have to come off for a fresh valve job & seals. and carbs.
Not my thing! But it still amaze's me! How these old bikes keep popping up!

That is painful to look at. I'm wondering how long it took him to regret painting the engine. Maybe half way through the first spray can?
