Welcome to the site. I have in-laws near you in Ellijay, Ga. Pretty country around there, I am near Nashville, Tn. I too ride a 79' LTD. What parts do you need to put it back together? Good luck, Tom

Welcome aboard!
I live in Quartz Hill, but work in Northridge.

Hello from Florida and welcome to KZR
Glad to hear you and the old girl are recovering well. I broadsided a dumptruck making a left hand turn in the mid 80's. Totaled my 900 but that didnt stop me from riding. I am a lot more cautious because of it and I am sure you will too. Get a parts list together, there are some great guys here that love the old Kaws and will help at the drop of a hat.
