New KZ owner in California was created by QuaiChangKane
Really nice site you guys have here!



I'm the new owner of both a KZ650C and a KZ440LTD in central California.

The KZ440 is about 90%, needing a new carb diaphragm (@*#* $170!!!), and a bit of spit and elbow grease. I'm an MSF RiderCoach (among other things), and have been hounded to offer private instruction for road-riding, and that's what this bike's destined for (if I can find some liability coverage ;) ).

The KZ650 is going to be my cafe-mod project, whenever I get around to it. :blush: I have a sickness for older bikes, and there always seems to be a couple more projects than I have the time for...


Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself before I start pestering you guys with questions... ;)



Cheers!

This is what I do for fun, not for work. It is art, with a little engineering thrown in.
