Welcome to the asylum for the Kawi addicted my friend.
Make room in your garage/storage/patio for a few more KZ's, because it's a contagious disease that has afflicted us all.
Oh, and there's no known cure for it. So don't bother trying to fight the KZ buying urge, save that energy for your upcoming KZ projects! :laugh:

It's strange that your B in your avatar is the same colour as my C. Did someone change the bodywork at some time in the past ??
Some of the experts on here can help out with this but I thought the C2 was the only model (besides the Z1R) that got the "Stardust Silver" paint. Am I wrong ??
Any clarifications gratefully accepted.
KZ650C2 Stock/mint. Goes by "Ace".
H2A Built from a genuine basket case. Yes,it's a hot rod.
GT550A Stock/mint. Pleasant stroker.

Some nice big pics of your ride are a must. Max 550 pixels wide allowed here.
H2Rick, you are correct that only the 650C2 and the '78 Z1R came in Metallic Stardust Silver.
The '77 C1 came in Moon Dust Silver, which is more silver compared to the C2's and Z1R's blueish tinge.
Here's mine back in it's original paint:

It supposedly was owned by a Kaw dealer as his personnal transport back in the day so perhaps the colour was changed as the original colours were't very popular. As you can see the seat isn't the original either. It also has had the Ignition upgraded to the Electronic CDI mod.

Hi Rod, do you mean a riding school?? My sister took one last summer I can check with her to see which one she did.
Yes, some kind of driver training course is what I'd like to find. I've never driven a bike before.
Thanks,
Rod.
