Reintroduction

Hello KZR, I've had this account for almost a decade (And seeing some of the stuff I posted? yea... I was definitely much younger), back when I had a 1979 KZ650. But... I moved out of my parents house, to another state, money got tight and had to sell the KZ and my Honda CX500 and so, the account sat dormant for a while.

Recently, my life stabilized and calmed enough for me to develop a drive to get back on two wheels. With that, I told myself that if I get a bike, it'll be stripped completely down to the frame to be built back up in the image i'd like it to be. So instead of tearing apart one of the many crisp and clean examples, I decided to just... buy a frame thats already stripped completely. Nothing on it but a clean Ohio title. With that, im not destroying a good example of a stock KZ650, but also at the same time, i'd be resurrecting a "bike" that, otherwise might not have seen the road ever again.

So with that said, I have picked up a 1981 KZ650H (I understand "H" meant it is a CSR?) 


It is quite literally, just a frame with a title, and thats totally fine for my goal. I've seen some incredibly interesting stuff that i'd like to incorporate (KZ750 head and cams, 2004 Kaw 636 front end/swing arm, fuel injection using GPz750 turbo TB's, or something similar as there appears to be many options, etc etc)

But yea, im glad to be back, glad to have a bike again even if there is some assembly required, and glad to have something smaller than a C4 Corvette to tinker with.

Welcome back.  You obviously share our addiction.
For a lot of us, "some assembly required" is the fun part...

Welcome back Lynx !
Looking forward to your project. Keep the pics coming.
