82 KZ650 CSR into Bobber

My father got it last year on ebay. He got it for his Gold Wing but could not get it to work. It was advertised as a dual system MC brake but it only seems to work on a single.(???) He bitched about it and the seller sent him another one and told him to keep this one too. I slapped it on, flushed the system and it came right up. All I know is he had a bunch of them and he was in FLA. Since I changed the handlebars it was a better fit than the original curved one made for the apes. I still have the original but it was dry. You can have it for shipping if you want it but I really don't know it's condition. Might need a rebuild.

I got superbike bars, so thats why I switched too. but I got a cheap one.... it works, but so does dragging my feet or just jumping off the bike!

I jumped on ebay and looked but couldn't find the seller. But there are quite a few setups. You don't have to stay with KZ. As long as they are for the right size bars. I think he paid 50-60. I'm pretty lucky with that stuff since my uncle and my father were into bikes pretty heavy so I have a lot of stuff on hand. Once I thought it was all just junk but now it's treasure. Fred Flintstone brakes...not good... not good at all. Good luck.

That's exactly the same one. Fla too. Bet it's same seller. Nice find MCSR!

CSR = CruiSeR in Kawasaki nomenclature.

Makes sense to me...but some that know me will tell you that that don't mean too much. So LTD is "Limited" as in limited edition or "Luxury Touring Device" my father would say "La Te Da" and "Last To Die". Wasn't there a Ford Galaxy LTD or something?

There was a Matchless G12 CSR (650cc).

Here is how she sits right now. New 530 chain conversion w/new sprockets. Nice New Bridgestone Spitfire II meat on the back. Inter-grated backlight and turnsignals. Took a inner fender off a 77B model donor bike and it fit nice after trimming a bit and covers electrics and seat and protects back light from underneath. I just ordered some 1 inch risers so I am going to try superbike bars on her next with the risers. Depends how my back likes it. Still wrestlin' with scrapping stock exhaust and going with the MAC 4-1. Anyone tell me what I should do with jetting with everything stock except the exhaust?

Looking good, I like the spokes.

Thanks TN

Haven't had as much time as I wanted to work on her as things blew up pretty good when my father passed. Here she is now. Runs great and is really comfortable and fun. New sprockets and chain, new rear tire, went through carbs, quickie paintjob, new brake light with inter-grated turn-signals, new headlight mount and turn-signals, rollerbearing neck, cleaned up wireing and replaced dubious connections and solo seat with bobbing frame. She will get a new paint job very soon but for now she rides great and makes me smile. I think pop is looking at her and wanting to ride. Anytime he wants to the key is his. Hope you like as much as I do. Best of all it stands me $993 usually can't buy this much fun for that.

Sorry to hear about your father. You've got her looking good. Enjoy the ride.
