Progress of KZ650B1 rebuild

Well, had a good couple of days after picking up my replated hardware, just going through everything making sure everything is tightened and adjusted. Put on the pretty bits just to be suređ

Hi all, well just fitted the headlamp, and pulled it outside for the first time in 6 months to test out the clutch adjustment and make sure it doesnât grab when running and putting it into first gear. All went well, and pulled nicely đ Will take out for a gentle test ride in a couple of weeks when the registration plate comes, and if all goes well, take for itâs warrant of fitness (mot in the UK),Â
The only things I need to change are the coils and leads, working ok, but very old, no rush there though.
Getting excited nowđ

Great job. I like the green Kawasaki color they used in 1977. Red was also nice, but faded out bad quickly. Been a long time since I've seen a good KZ650.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
