"Eleanor" a.k.a. 82 kaw kz750e-3 was created by Ghostonthemachine
any advise about this bike is welcome...
i have rebuilt the carb the best i can without replacing the slides and boots.
i have replaced the front sprocket and will be replacing the chain this weekend and probably the back sprocket.(just because i should not because it needs it.)
i had to replace the front forks, but thats done now.
also replaced the front tire because it sat for years apparently and the tire dry rotted really badly.
i have been going through it and replacing all the phillips head screws with black allen head bolts.
i am thinking of replacing the cafe bars with a more cruising style of handlebar. and i need to get a line on an adjustable backrest...seems easy, but i have had no luck so far on the internet.
i will be posting some pictures today, but if you are on facebook my name is andrew speer and i am in indiana. i have a whole rebuild folder on there.
