78 KZ's Bike - repost from the old forum (locO)

[CarbsAndCylinders]

I used to go there when I was a kid, a long time ago. There was a place called Peggy's Dance Hall, it was a pink wooden building with a curved roof, long gone now. It is a lot more built up than back in the 60's. A friend, Mel, who lived on the 9th Line got me into bikes.

Still riding the KZ.
2500 kms last season, after sitting 5 years.

The fairing has been off all season, at a painter buddie's place with a full set of bodywork.

Doesn't look like the painter is going to have my fairing and bodywork ready come Spring, so I'm taking the Clubman bars and fairing mount off, and going with Renthal handle bars and fork ears.
Deep headlight bucket on it's way.

Nice. Looking forward to the paint when it finally happens.

I got the gas tank I'd been using last season repaired, and painted to match the tail and side covers I've been using.
Lagoon Turquoise Metalic is the colour.
Also got a small Cafe fairing, and painted to match.
