Motorcycle Riders?

[printcraft]

Love me some two stroke, My first street bike was a 72 Kawasaki triple then in 1977 I bought a 76 KZ900 LTD that I still own.

Strange time for triples, My first street bike was a 80' Yamaha Midnight Special 850 triple, gold trim, pretty bike.
Looked identical to this one...

I put a set of straight bars on it like these, the oem were mid height pull backs.
Installed a Mac 3-1 header, pulled out the baffle of course.
It did NOT like to change it's line when going down the road, you really had to put some effort into steering.

I had a plain 750 about the same year and it was fun to ride and I also had an 1983 midnight maxim.. a 750 with the dreaded 2nd gear issue. Loved the trim on that package..
As soon as I finish the rd I have a 1975 xs650 to start on. It run but needs carbs redone. I did take all the 1970’s fairing and bags off

I've been working on this since last October and fired it up for the first time a few days ago.

Waiting on the body parts to come back from the painter.

I just turned the key on my 2021 Africa twin for the first time since October. Kept in non-climate controlled storage with no battery charger. Fired right up. Gotta love lithium ion batteries and modern fuel injection.

If you're in Fort Wayne, watch out for a two-tone green scooter, rider open carrying (left handed), and passing you.

That'll be me.

Left handed and open huh ? Roll on !

Darn good stuff. And the Amazon price is the best I've seen since before Covid.

I would not… let me come and pick it up. I will give you cash or an ak47?!

If you you have the title or can get it first ...I vote for the restore... in the Pic it looks really clean

Just got a lead on 2 1973 Honda 4 cylinder 350’s… hope this come to be. I would love to get one going for my wife to ride.!

Good that you got out there. How is your neck/back issues doing these days?

Like crap. Getting some epidurals soon.

 

[KokomoDave]

That looks great! Wow! I’ve been trying to figure out how to go to Canada and ride back a LC350.
I bet that was hoot to ride. What chambers were you running on it?

RZ500. Again. This time for keeps!
