My Kawa, -78 Z650

[carina]

Hello

Here is my Kawasaki, originally with 650cc engine, now with 750cc from -84 Gpz. I got it from my girl´s big brother. It had been without use almost 14 years and kept in outside under the roof that time. It took few hours every now and then to get it in driveable condition. Ít´s not nice yet, but I drove few thousand kilometers with it last summer.

Before:

Now:

There are lots to do still and I´m now looking ideas, money and time.

Nice...

Put it back to standard and your 'Baby Z1' will be worth decent money.

It´s from my lady´s bike, she have -08 kawa zx6r. She thought that her bike´s rear was butt ugly. I changed tail light and plate holder to it and I put that old light to my kawa.

Can´t really make it like original. Rearwheel, brake and fork is from some other bike, engine is changed, no-one knows where original is, frontlight is also aftermarket, electrics are made by me, it have no meters at all etc.

I´m going to change that muffler, it´s from my lady´s former zx6r, but it was fine enough to get it on the road.

I did little engine build up last winter. I ruined gearchanging drum somehow and lost second gear. Little part to change, quite big job thou. Now it works fine, but it defenately needs update for it´s outside.
