Have been posting up a bit but neglected to introduce myself and say Hi to everyone. In a nutshell, my name is Kim Smith, retired NAVY 20 years, moved back home to NH, work as an Electro/Mechanical Tech for a printing company, have a beautiful wife and three sons, just wrapping up a three year full frame off restoration of a 1981 KZ1000-K1 LTD, forks by Frank, Wired George rebuilt carbs, bike is all Tiger Gloss black powder coat, the crown jewel is my PSP built motor, 1075cc, stage 2 porting, big valves, 3X cams, welded crank, undercut gears, and a matte black KERKER 4-1. Love my KZ, love this site!
