Hello from Spain was created by leitz
Hi everybody, here we are my kz650c2 78 and me. Its my third bike, near 3 years riding it and i am amazed every day more with this 32 years old bike. You helped me with your knowledge so thanks a lot.
Works on my bike are: Allsballs steering head bearings, Marshall exhaust, Puig mirrors, mx handlebar, 107.5 mains, K&N air filter on stock airbox and Wilbers progresive springs.
Next works: R1 tail light, Dyna S and green coils and a upgrade of rear shocks, probably Zephyr 750 or Ikon shocks.

trianglelaguna, normally i go to classic races not to gp´s.
Old Man Rock, the exhaust end has some purple shades by the heat, but originally was all chrome. I bought it used and i think no longer manufactured. I don´t know if they did made these for the 900/1000.
rstnick, at 25 milles from Madrid there are some good mountain roads with many bikers on weekends, but almost always with traffic police helicopter controlling bikes speed etc.
Traffic in Madrid city is horrible especially at certain times.

IMHO, he seems to drive like everywhere I've seen in third world old cities. I notice that others were riding/driving similarly. Just my 2 cents.
Best of success,
Bill
PS
Not saying that Spain is a third world country, so hold of the flames please.
