New to bikes, from Utah.

Just picked up a 77 KZ650. I think I'm over my head on this project. ;D

Co-worker sold me the bike for $450. Adding another project to my life.

Thanks. Ya, a 10 bay shop should be ok. LOL Also have two other riders here at the shop.

Welcome to the site, sir. If you need help, most simple answers can be found through the search. If not there, do not hesitate to ask. One of us can answer you.

Thanks to all. Been wrenching for about 7+ years as a tire monkey/VW geek. I'm sure if I can't fix it I can ziptie it. LOL

Oh sweet! Glad to know there are more cafe enthusiasts in SLC. All my other friends that ride are into Harleys and bobbers.

Welcome to DTT!
Not to steer a fresh thread off topic, but you should definitely post some pics of the vw's ;D

[Salty_Cafe_801]

To bad about that squareback being scrapped. I have been wanting to do one of those over for awhile. We have good sheet metal down here in Az. I came from SLC (Draper) 15 years ago. Had a 86 VW Jetta, 72 VW Beetle, 82 VW diesel Rabbit and a 78 VW Scirocco.

I didn't scrap the type 3, I scrapped the 85 Golf. Had that one for about 6 years as a daily. The type 3 is more my wife's car. Also possibly for sale.
