My pops used to have this bike, the last time he rode it was in 1986. It's been sitting dormant back in my barn ever since. Me and my dad towed it out a couple weeks ago and got down to work. This is how she looked when we pulled her out
It took us no time at all to start it, after cleaning out the carbs, clearing out the old oil, and getting the rust out of the tank. We rode it for a good 45 minutes with no problems at all besides a little trouble switching out of neutral (which worked itself out after a while)
We started chopping her down, took the paint off of the tank, painted the exhaust, threw some clubmans on, got new tires, painted the wheels, and did countless other things. This is what it looked like a couple days ago.
And then I heat wrapped the exhaust
And heres the picture when I got done working on her just a couple hours ago.
Theres only a couple more things to do like shortening the back end, and either buying a new seat or making one ourselves. (suggestions?) And moving the ignition switch. Also we have to find a gas cap (suggestions?) Anyways, I hope you guys like my kz, and feel free to critique the hell out of it, I'm an art student, I can handle it.
