hay guys just found this forum on google and decided to join because i have a ton of questions about my recent buy.
ssssoooooo i just got a 78 KZ650 cafe style. the guy i got it from ended up hitting something and damaging the forks, front wheel and tank. the forks were fixed but i still need a new front rim and tank. the bike had rear turn signals (no fronts), so i added a switch and wired them up. the bike doesnt run now not sure why it was running 2 days ago. also i suspect that the stator isnt charging voltage was at 12.4 while running and when reved up to 4k stayed the same and didnt get higher.also need new headers
these are the only picturs i have at the moment

Welcome Hollywood... O U C H ! Looks like a 78' D1 that didn't fare well, but anything is fixable.
So, what's wrong with the front rim?

Well, I would get that front tire off the ground... or off the bike and check the rim by spinning it and comparing it to some set point, like a fork tube. But seeing you don't have a full-stand, don't know how you'll do this.
