hi all first i guess i should introduce myself, my names tom and i live in melbourne, australia. to the bike... i purchased this tidy kz400 last year just before chistmas,
earlier in the year i bought a 74 honda cb 200 but that is a ruffy and needs more time and i want to ride something right away. so the kz is in great condition, has 32,000 on the clock and starts first kick even after sitting for weeks, past roadworthy after only having to replace the neutral globe haha. the cam chain is a bit noisy so first off i bought new guides new chains for both the cam and balancer and got some rings as i thought may aswell since im opening her up anyway. will rebuild motor once it gets a bit more wintery...
ive also ordered alot of parts, pod filters, headlight brackets, rearsets, grips, clip ons, indicators and a few other engine bits, i am anxiously waiting for them to arrive.
heres what ive got so far.
my buddy also gave me a set of old clubmans he had, took them to work and sprayed them up after removing all the rust.
here they are on the bike.
ive also been working on making a seat as well,
am waiting for the fibreglass to set as i type now, so more pics soon. will keep you updated. thanks for the look.
