I just picked up a 1979 Kawasaki KZ 750 twin with 11,500 miles not running for 500 bucks. I know it seems a little high but it is clean. I drug it to the shop, and found out it had no spark or fuel flow. Put in new plugs< cleaned the carburetors, and adjusted the points and times it, then i cleaned out the tank and petcock and it fired over on the first kick. Then i realized the starter clutch is toast on it, so for the time being i pulled the stator cover and unhooked the starter sprocket and chain and slid the starter back in. I still have to fine tune the carburetors a bit cause it idles a tad high. Tomorrow i am going to install a set of clubman handlebars i have in the shop and tidy things up some. I would also like to simplify the wiring some. I also plan on cutting down the front fender some cause its all smashed at the bottom. I an not sure what color to paint it either, i am almost thinking flat black? anyway here are some pics of the way it sits now.
