Hi All. I've just joined the club and thought it best to introduce myself and bike. I bought this mainly original 1978 KZ100 A2 at auction a couple of months ago. It's showing just over 31000 miles but who knows if that is correct. I intend to keep it original and add/change parts if I can find them. I'll add a couple more posts soon regarding the parts I'm looking for plus an issue I think it has with low compression.

Hi Andyb

welcome to the club !
It's a very nice bike you have there, congratulations!
I would like to advise you to put a second disc rotor and caliper at the front.(and a 5/8 front master brake cylinder)
You'll need them when you have to make an emergency stop.
Let the good times roll !
Greetings from Belgium.

Lovely bikes the A2's especially in that colour. I agree with philippe about upgrading the front brakes as my A2 had twin discs from new so it wouldn't look like a modification.
