new to KZ

hello my name is cameron, I live in Oregon.
I am new to motorcycles and bought a 1977 KZ650 as my first bike this year. it needs some work but over all runs solid. I am very into cafe style bikes from late 60's early 70's and would love to bring this style to my bike with a clean look. I am hoping to do the project on a budget due to I am 30 in college working full time with two kids. so time and money are short but my intrest and drive are high.

hope to get to know everyone and marry Xmas.

You are in luck, as "cafe-ing" a bike is meant to be cheap- it was never meant to be a high dollar "bling" thang for bikes- you just cut off things that don't make it go faster and only leave on things that make it safe and legal. Plus a 20 buck set of bars, a few cans of flat black paint, s can of white paint (to stencil in some letters or checkered board of your choice- the most expensive piece would be a cafe seat if you buy it- otherwise- you can make your own.
