  • New old bike

    Picked this up for $650 last fall, started fiddling with it before it got cold, then all but forgot about it until today.



    Rigged up some new after market coils+wires, did plugs, changed the oil, swapped on superbike bars from a KZ1300 my father had, and I have the new Fuse box that I bought off of here. Haven't wired it up yet. Threw a new battery in it too.

    Can't get it to consistently stay running, so I'm going to send some SeaFoam through it, see how it runs after. If that doesn't work, I'm going to pull the carbs and clean them out.

    Next up is the braking system. Might have to rebuild the front MC and replace some brake line as well.

    Looks like the fork seals are leaking a little, how hard are they to do generally??

    Here are some more pics of the bike:

      $650.00 ? Looks like you got a steal. Nice.

      Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.
