Thought I'll update my intro thread now that I've just about finished my build. The z500 was in a sad state when I got it, and it was my first kwaka build Did everything at home including paint and engine rebuild, except machine work on the bores and head. The main delays were waiting on parts to arrive from around the globe.
Pretty happy with the way it turned out, and looking forward to many rides now that we are approaching the end of COVID lockdown in Australia. (Hopefully for good now)
