Default New guy from across the pond
Good evening ladies and gentlemen my name is Peter and i live in Ireland i purchesed a 1980 KZ550 A1 in June of this year a non runner rust bucket and set about restoring it, I compleated the rebuild last weekend and took her for her first run was i suprised with how this bike handles and the accelaration i have to say i am very pleased with how it turned out i had to refurbish every nut and bolt on her, Please feel free to let me know what you think as i have no experiance of the Kawasaki bikes as i ride a 1991 Honda Goldwing 1500 normaly
Thank you

Welcome.

Nice looking bike. Great job. There's a lot of satisfaction in bringing one back from the near-grave.
