After extensive research and many failed craigslist meetings (really people! if you don't want to put effort into selling something why bother posting it! But that's another blog I could start entirely) we finally got it!
A 1982 KZ750 with 29k and lots of "awesome" custom work. Aside from the "custom work", This bike was actually really great. The previous owner used it as a daily rider and put a lot of new parts and work on it. Here is the list and he had all the documentation for it:
- Rebuilt the master cylinder and rebuilt calipers
- new tires
- rebuilt carbs and resync'd
- rebuilt fuel petcock
- new spark plugs and wires
- replaced air-box with pods (which I love the look of)
- changed oil
- replaced fork seals and fork oil
- custom exhaust that sounds awesome
- replaced chain and sprockets
Now the bad:
- Head gasket leaks a little oil
- throttle handlebar insert is cracked causing the throttle cable to stick
- awful front "fairing"
- Ghetto rigged sissy bar and saddlebag
- Ghetto rigged front turn signals
- God awful paint job that is peeling
- exhaust needs new donut seals
Here are a few more shots so you can see all of it:
Whew! We have our work cut out for us. Time to get to work and make this bike look somewhat respectable. This backrest and bag combo are killing me............
