So she pretty much sat around like that for a while, whilst I was flat out working and then left for a holiday to Cambodia for my birthday! Got back, and got straight back into it. Had to clean my carbs as they were all gunked up from sitting around and also tried out my new coils and in the...

Whilst I was working on my heads I also started stripping paint off the bottom end, result was ok, will need some rust converter and light sand when prepping.

Re: 82 KZ750 LTD Brat Style Build - First Timer Hey mate awesome project! I must say I honestly love the look of the tank when it was sanded down and sheet seat tray balanced with the black exhaust. Both complemented the stance of the bike and with that black painted engine in with polished...

Re: My Pile of Rust - Kwaka Z250 - Update - So I was lucky enough to go in and start reconditioning my own head at my old work place. (Head Specialist) Once I started dismantling the valve train, the head revealed what I was hoping not to see. Unfortunately my seats and valve seats are...
