Nice! I have a rear tail light fender assembly in the shop if you need one. What are the plans for this one? Very cool!

I use Mobile 1 20w50 full synthetic oil as I'm running a dry clutch and need not worry about slip and the bike's air/ oil cooled. Plus as a added bonus the oil's not being contaminated by the clutch material ;D And when on really long rides Wal-Mart or any good auto store will carry Mobile 1...

Ok so I picked up a 18 inch rear mag for my 1978 KZ, I'm also switching over to a disc rear setup. But when I got home I noticed something strange :o This rim had rim locks! meaning it's meant to run with a inner tube??? Has anyone heard of this? I was thinking of have a friend aluminum tig...

Are they constantly leaking/flowing , if so it may just be a stuck plunger. Try tapping the bowl with a screwdriver handle or a small hammer, this will seat the plunger.

So here's what I ended up doing...... hope it works ;D

I love that KZ !! I think I may need to source some mag rims! Really starting to like the look of the mags . If your ever in Stroud or Barrie drop by. ;D

ok , I've got two options either shorten the length on the machined inner needle bearing shaft or machine thrust washer/spacers?

Hello all ;D So a few weeks ago I rode my '78 KZ650 to the Toronto Spring Motorcycle show, having just drilled my main jets out to 1.17mm I started to open her up. When I approached the 145, 150 speed range I got this nasty speed wobble and had to back off!!! ??? Well today I removed the...

Hey guys, just a thought my wife has a laser cutting / engraving machine and I'm sure if I ask her really really nicely she could cut something up! ;D I've seen her use plastic that looks like brushed aluminum or stainless in the past, would be easy to cut and engrave any logo/ graphics on ...

Hey Tintin , great looking bike!! is that a XS model? Also I noticed your running a front tubular fork brace , how do you like it? Can you still mount a fender with it? I was thinking of picking one up to try out on my KZ. ;D

Is this the fucker in Mono Mills near Hwy 9 and Airport road ? I was thinking of dropping in there, but now....... I may not have the fucking time....... ;D Fuck Him !

I'm thinking of riding down from Barrie with a few friends if the weather holds true. Taking the KZ650 out and hoping to test out the modified main jets. ( I drilled them out to 1,17 ) ;D

Very sweet looking KZ, great to see another KZ!!!!

Thanks for the welcome guys! Here's a few pics that I found, I'll need to get a group shot someday. Hey 78KZ this summer when you go for a club ride let me know I'll tag along. This is a really great site, lots of great info, and I gotta say right now the KZ and the whole cafe thing is my...

Hey guys and gals thought I'd just say hello from Innisfil, names Rico and I've been a motorcycle nut since I was 16. I picked up a 1978 KZ650 last year as a potential cafe bike, and after finding this site I have started the transformation!!! I've installed a clubman bar and bar end mirrors...
