Re: My new bike - 1983 Kawasaki KZ550
Well, I'm back, and now that winter is starting to leave us I've been able to get some work done on my bike.
So far I've: - Replaced the handlebars with superbike bars (MUCH more comfortable) - Replaced the chain, front, and rear sprockets - Replaced front and rear tire (by myself!) - Spray painted the front fender and chain guard black - Relocated the front blinkers to the back (mounting issues with the new bars) - Replaced brake shoes on the rear brake Still to do: - Change brake fluid and oil - Refinish tank (or at least stabilize it so I can refinish next winter) - Install new front blinkers (on order) - Waiting on a chain tool so I can install the master link clip on the new chain (no worries, I'll be taking it to the shop to have the rivet link installed) And finally... - Get the darn thing started. It's been too cold to get it started after having been sitting for a few months. I've drained the gas and hopefully next week I'll run out and get some fresh gas to put in it.
