Small hick up with the Z1000R yesterday so I won't be buying anything for a while, I'll explain latter

Right, that's it, I'm going to buy a SAAB 96 3 cylinder two stroke, the search starts right now!

Well its time for a bit of body! :D All the gal bit have been removed, all the glass has been removed now its time for blasting! Two piles, smaller pile is for just blasting as that pile will be hand sanded and then sent to the galvanisers, the other pile will be wet blasted and lightly primed then ...

There's a KE175 on eBay at the moment £800, it's in Bury St Edmunds ..... or even a matching pair!. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-COLLECTION-OF-2-KAWASAKI-1977-KE125-GENUINE-UNMOLESTED-BIKES/112374405058?

Oh, and fitted a period fork brace just because I had a new one in a box!

Gents, As you know I bought the bike from Paul and shipped to Australia, really happy with the bike but it was missing a couple of little things to bring it back to standard :D I've fitted the original shocks which I found in the US, fitted the black chrome 4-2, stripped and rebuilt the carbs and ha...
