New owner from PA. was created by RunningFree83
Hello everyone. My name is Jared and I currently live in NEPA. I just bought my first bike - a 1978 kz650. I am anxious to start riding this summer and I look forward to talking to everyone about theses bikes. I hope these pics aren't too big.

Hey Jared, welcome to the site!
That is a nice looking bike you have:)

Welcome aboard. Jared!
We're glad you're here!
Thanks for pics of a handsome bike.
Hope you'll take the MSF course and always ride like everybody else is out to get you, or at least as if you're invisible (to them, you are invisible.). Helps keep us alive and kicking.
Good Luck!

Would anyone know if the front fender on the bike is stock? Shouldn't it have a chrome fender?
