They didn't sell well. I've seen a couple, usually in crappy shape.

Yeah, still here. Been a bad week at work, first time in years I've considered quitting and going full time with bike parts fabrication. Just don't know if the work is out there to make a living. I've got a 3 day weekend to work on your tree and ramtough's plus get a couple arms done.
Those zephyrs are gorgeous, been looking for a 750 for years to put an older kz 1000 and turbo in. I really don't understand why they didn't sell more of them.

I hear you.Been there.Its not easy.Would like to see you working for your self,if everything goes well.But, its Jungle out there. Think twice. Hey less holt,I mention that I would like to have factory gauges on mine(KZ900).I understand that is out of "contract" so you just add it to price.I dont know how you going to do it.Are you going to weld two pieces and tap the thread or some other idea?
