Hey Everyone!
Well I just recently bought a new to me bike, but could use a little help on it. It is suppose to be an 82 KZ750 4 Banger. I will post a picture below and post the problems I am having in the correct area.
About me I have been in the army for the last 13 and a half years. I have been deployed overseas for over 60 months, have 2 kids and an awesome wife to put up with all the time I spend gone. Another one of my hobbies is I am restoring a 1971 Ford F100 4x4 with a 390.
Anyhow the most important part a picture of the bike!

Welcome and thank you so much for yer service! I like the toys you have. That is def the meanest lookin ole KZ I have ever seen! Very unique and I like it. Pretty much a bullet proof bike right there. Also like yer superduty in the background. Is it a 7.3? I got a 99.5 F250 SD 7.3 4x4 ext cab sb and love it! Best trucks on the planet. I bleed green and blue. You should post some pics of yer ole F100 yer restoring. Cant beat the old Fords. One of these days I will restore my 77 F250 4x4 high boy that my dad bought new. I have wayy too many projects to do dang it!

Kel, +1^ on your military service. Thank you.
Somebody put a lot of time and love into that bike; there is some fabrication on there that doesn't come easy. Keep the oil clean and the valves adjusted, and she'll be a trusted companion for a long time.
Glad to have you with us. Let us know if we can help.
Gear up. Just because you're home, doesn't mean it's safe out there.

Hey All Thanks For The Good Welcome.
As requested some pics of my F100! I am upgrading the 4x4 to an NP435 with an NP205 out of a 1979 F250 4x4! Anyhow here it is so far!
This is how it looked before I started
This is what I have done and what I am doing to it!
Worked on it with this
Realized my hands could only handle that thing for about 5 hours and didn't knock hardly anything thing off so I did a search on craigslist for some better tools. And for 180 dollars I found these.
And after some POR-15 and some soda blasting I ended up with this!

This is a photo of my truck right before I drove it from KY to FL in June when I got back from my last deployment!
And My F250 is the 7.3 just rolled over 200000 miles, but it came out of the North East and has some rust issues now. But it is a strong dependable truck!
My family bleeds blue too! My wife drives an 07 Ford Freestyle, and I have the F250 and F100!

Love the pictures, welcome to the forums, I was always a Chevy lover growing up, but I secretly loved the Fords. I finally came out of the closet (not in a broke back way) LOL a long time ago, the 70's produced some of the best things ever. Pop Rocks, Stretch arm strong, rockem sockem robots, the magic 8 ball, Fords and Chevy trucks! It was a magical time. Whoops......where was I? oh yeah, glad to have you aboard.
