Hello gents. Haven't posted in a little over 2 years as life has it's way of controlling what you do sometimes. I have my 77' KZ650 KZ650B-003 637. 21,850 miles. Owned by the same individual since 1979. Drove well when I bought it and of course had to go tearing into it. I have a ton of new parts that I'll need to get indexed. The front suspension, wheel and brakes have been redone. New tube/tire, polished out spoke rim, new progressive spring/seals/fluid/drain bolts. Brake caliper redone as well as rotor.  Carbs and airbox are off the bike. Exhaust, not OEM, has been removed, but I still have them. Any thoughts? Should I try to sell as a whole with the parts, or part the bike out? If anyone is interested, I'll get picks and I'm sure whatever deal we can come up with, the buyer will be extremely satisfied. Central Ohio area. Just looking to initially pick everyone's brain. I just don't want a great bike going to waste. Thanks for any opinions in the matter. Mike

Would make a great project for someone (at the right price) and would shift everything in one hit. I am in the UK so no idea what is a fair price in the states

I'm leaning that way after thinking about it. I want someone to have all of it to get it back to it's glory and with plenty of wiggle room financially to do it.

I might be interested, not sure.  I do recall some of your posts from the past related to issues you were working through. If you can, post some pics of it currently, I would ponder it more. Not sure I need a project, but have found they keep me off the streets and out of bars.  .I am a long ways from central Ohio so it is not like I will be there anytime soon.

Hello gd4now. Hey, how can I get you some pics? Will this forum allow me to attach a few or do you have an email? Mine is on my profile. Thanks.

As I understand it, you should be able to post pics here.  If that is not the case then we will figure something else out.

See Patton's post titled "posting pics is easy" page 1.  It is how an old guy like me learned how to post pictures.

Sorry for the confusion that was not my intention.  I have made my email address available to registered users. I do not appear to be able to see yours unless we are both logged on at that moment. You should be able to see my email now and if you really want to send me pics feel free.  Not really sure I want another bike. But if memory serves me well you did find an nice looking machine that did not appear to need lots and lots of work. I would think by showing what you have to the site in general you may find there are others who might be interested.  Look I am not attempting to start anything.  I am just an old man who thinks I remember your machine and what you have done to this point.  It made me sort of stop and think..
