Blood, sweat and beers.
A couple months ago I picked up 2 75' KZ400's... $300!
The blue on has a disc brake and electric start, the red one is the S model with JUST a kick start... which I promptly broke after getting the engine to fire on 1 cylinder.
Blue one, 8200 miles, Red one, 5500 miles...
So, I decided I'd tear into the red one because I heard it "run"... and convert it to an electric start but keep the drum brakes... because NO ONE keeps them, and they're more reliable than a 70's disc any day of the week.
Here it is as of NOV 2016.
Here it is as of MAY 2017.
Here it is when I got it home in Aug of 2016:
