Always loved the blingy engine on the Kettle. (unsurprisingly). One of the bikes I always promised myself but by the time I got round to getting one prices had left me behind.

Did you do the Resto?..

Prices of Kettle's aren't anywhere near as silly as Kawasaki are they?

Mine won't be anything like that thing of beauty it's being done for thrashing round in any weather if the fancy takes me with
a emphasis on everything working and reliability :)

I have had the GT up and running on a dummy tank and she sounded sweet so i decided to strip exhaust's etc of for a clean.
Should be a couple of pictures, I've now decided that i really want the 750A model like i've had before so once Exhausts are
cleaned and the engine degreased i will reassemble, change Gearbox oil, New coolant etc and advertise it as i am to tight
for room to have both sadly :oops. But that's life :)

not yet, I've got dibs on it but the guy's a bit too attached. (deceased owners bike) patience required... it's 100 yards away so right annoying too.....
