650 Mod's 78 Fighter Build

Thanks, Kaw! As for the rally- where is it happening?

Here you go man.

ATTENTION: You are all cordially invited to A KZ RIDER RALLY!

This rally will serve two main purposes:

1) Celebrate the the KZ Rider North American Flag Relay.

2) Simply bring together fellow moto enthusiasts with a focus on Vintage KZ Kawasakis.

This Rally will be a great way for anyone who has carried The Relay Flag or wished they had participated to gather and celebrate the Relay. This Rally is NOT just for KZ Riders who carried the Flag. This is an open invitation for all KZ Riders, their family & friends to come together and simply celebrate our common interest.

Here are a few details:

When?................... August 5th - 10th 2014...Come for one or all 5 days, YOU Choose!
Where?.................. Ute Bluff Lodge, South Fork, Colorado
Why?.................... Close proximity to The 4 Corners* and some of the best Roads to ride motorcycles in the world.
Website ............... www.uteblufflodge.com/Default.aspx

* There has been some discussion as to where the KZ Rider Relay Flag would end upon completion. The general consensus is The Relay Flag will travel down the West Coast later this year or in 2014 ending at The 4 Corners of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, & Colorado. This will make for a grand finale for a great Relay!

The Rally Point is not conveniently located near anyone in particular. It is more about bringing a group of KZ Riders close to the symbolic if not actual completion of The Relay Ride.

I have spoken to the owners of the Ute Bluff Lodge. The following are some advantages of staying at their lodge, cabin, and RV grounds:

- They are motorcycle friendly.
- They are offering us a group discount regardless of a lodge room, cabin or RV site. Be sure to mention that you are part of the KZ Rider Relay Rally to receive your 10% discount!

- AND best of all they are on the doorstep of some of the greatest motorcycling roads anywhere.

This Owners Group & Forum in North America has been reinvigorated by this Relay. AND, now we can celebrate by coming together.

Please feel free to post up your interest in attending. Also, click on the Ute Bluff Lodge website link. There you can find the contact information to reserve your space. Craig & Annette will be happy to hold a room, cabin, or space for you! Here is their contact information:

Thanks for the info!

Before I go pulling the trigger on a set of passenger pegs for the bike- does anyone have feedback about which passenger foot rests work best? Angle and length wise?

Thanks!

Alright guys. I was in the shop today to get some pictures of the bike with the body work back on as I'm getting antsy to get her back on the road. She's looking pretty mean!

Looking good. can't wait to see the rest of the build

very nice sir! :evil:

leon

Fingers crossed that we're able to get the rest done nice and quick!

Leon- Any idea where I could get metric coupler nuts to mount up my rear sets with? I've tried a few shops in town, but no one has metric coupler nuts... I'm thinking I need to figure out the bolt size/thread, and order online.

Are you wanting to weld the coupler to the frame or use them to join shifter and brake linkages?

If you want them to mount the brackets to the frame, go to Bungking.com. They sell machined threaded bungs. They're kinda overpriced but not that bad if you don't have access to a lathe.

Later, Doug

Hey Doug- The ones I'm looking for are going to be used to weld to the frame to hold my new foot rests up.

I'm going to swing by another shop in town tomorrow and see if I can pick anything up. The threads might actually be standard (fingers crossed).

If I can't get any in town, I'll for sure give the Bungking,com site a shot. Thanks for the tip!

Devin

Devin,

I was just thinking. I have some metric bungs left over from my project. Let me know the thread size you're looking for and I'll see what I have. If you need what I have, you can have them for shipping.

Later, Doug

Doug,

I really appreciate that! I'll let you know what I'm able to find today. I'll get the threads checked at this last shop to double check and hopefully they have something in stock for me. How many bungs do you have left?

Thanks Doug.
