Been doing all my own work, the things I don't know with some supervision in hope of learning. I have to admit I didn't have the desire to wrench at all when I was younger and as a result I'm trying to learn now.
KZ 650 is a sick bike, a good friend of mine had a '78 Kz 650sr. Thing was a blast to ride, here is a little vid of me taking a test ride around my neighborhood.

That's awesome I'm trying to do everything myself with the help of my pops
With some success
Just trying to jet the darn thing has been a nightmare Hahaha its pretty much stock right now but within the next month or so I hope to have it done
Right now I'm trying to find someone or a shop that'll help me out but its not that popular of a thing down here
I'm hoping to establish a group that can wrentch around together and promote progress and push others and help because one taking it in is rediculous expensive and 2 there's no fun in it
I've read up on the internet about bike "communes" or "kitchens" and I'd like to start something like that around here if the scene picked up
 
Greetings all. I am in Lodi which seems to be little north of most of you. I am presently building a café CB125 with a 200 motor. I need a disc brake set up and poss. seat to move forward. Any ideas out there. Greg
 
Hell this is my first post on this site. I am from Visalia but work in Exeter. I don't have a project bike yet. I am trying to finish my e30 bmw so I can clear out the shop for a bike.
 
First time posting. In Taft 30 min west of Bakersfield. I have a 1981 seca 750 did a little work to. Paint, bars, four into one, k&n pod filters and street fighter style headlight. Now changing a few things, custom wiring harness (x out all the electronics) and cafe bars. Would like to get together with u guys and ride.

Thanks for the offer but I am not quite ready for the project yet. I need to wrap up this e30. Besides at 6'3" the cl350 is a bit on the small size for me. 8)

hahaha yeah it was just sitting in my barn so i said wth why not try to fix it up
so i casualy work on it from time to time
would probably be more of a pit bike/moped for you though hahaha
 
So what's been going on with these projects that most of all of us have my wiring just about done but I did start it last Saturday runs good. Lets hear it guys keep us up to date and motivated.

well i planned on it
but
apparently i have to replace my base gasket and float bowl gaskets first hahah
i recently replaced the stock petcock and gas filter and hosing
and now i have a massive gas leak from inside the carbs hahaha
so now instead of pretty stuff going on its gonna be an over haul of the gaskets and whatever else to get it into running shape
but those are the breaks

hows yours coming along
my gramps has a few spare bikes maybe we can get together and have a ride i know there are a few others on the thread ready for a ride before the summers over
 
Hopefully week or so my buddy the one that's helping me with the wiring only likes to work on it a couple of hours at a time. A little frustrating but I ordered
SS brake lines and found a cafe seat on eBay someone started that fits on a seca so I bought that and going to finsh it.
