I bought this for my KZ650 rebuild but found a Lockhart Oil Cooler along the way and never used it. The sump was hard to find and had it shipped from overseas. Black paint has been stripped. It will bolt on to a KZ650 seamlessly. You'll just need to build a bracket to mount the oil cooler to...

Has anyone used this stuff? I watched a few videos that restored substantial compression back to the cylinders. However, on the can it says "If you have a wet clutch motorcycle do not add this to your oil, instead call us because there is another way of using it" Yet, they don't tell me how...

I have to admit I really lucked out lately finding this bikes on the cheap. First my XS500 for $200, and now this 79 Kawasaki KZ650 for $500. Found sitting in a shed for the last 10 years. No pitting on forks, mostly original, seat enacted with no holes in it. Only some minor rust and patina...

Hey, It's been sometime since I have been active on this site after completing my XS500 Cafe. I recently just found and purchased a 1979 Kawasaki KZ650 and I am pretty excited to start a new project. The bike is 100% there and is only missing the stock airbox. Does anyone have a experience...

I have 2 Emgo Shorty Reverse Cone Mufflers. A little too loud for my liking. Anyone experienced with fiberglass packing mufflers? I never tried it so I need some points, tips, or suggestions on how to do it properly. Thanks.

Rare Government use of the Yamaha XS500 is numbers. Country "unknown" but someone who shared this with me suggested it was in Ireland.

Here is a little preview of what a plastic mallet, bondo, and lots of sandpaper can do. I should probably add labor to the mix too. Stock Tank: Hammered in sides: Bondo in progress: Finished w/primer:

I'll let you guys guess first. Then I will reveal the answer, but I am pretty sure somebody knows already.

I found some nice links on the parts needed to install a steering damper. MikesXS has damper and fork bracket but I have a question. Where is the other part suppose to mount? Ive seen pics of some mounted to the frame and some mounted to the middle of the trees. That just confuses me and...
