78 KZ650 C2 project was created by doped304
This has been on the back burner for awhile. Everything powdercoated, gs1100 swingarm, wiseco 700cc kit, dyna ignition with green coils, gsxr rear sets, and an empty wallet!

After 7 months I finally got the engine back together! Several setbacks, got the cases back together was putting on the head and noticed 2 stripped spark plug holes 
Here are some helpful hints, dont use a 1981 manual on a 78 bike! After finding the correct info for setting the cam timing it was all downhill from there. Also a big shout out to Harbor Freight without them non of this would have been possible.

that motor looks killer! let us all know how the motor runs with the PC on there, i was advised not to powder too much as it retained more heat than bare or ceramic coating... but i would love some first hand knowledge
