Hello from the Uk

Hello after decades of modern bikes and 
2 stroke yamahas. I have gone full circle and
returnd to the bikes that were around when I first took  to the road in 1983.
I have recently bought a US spec 1980 kz1000 ltd,  I have already started modifying it and sourced an earlier z1000 
Tank and 18" rear wheel.  I am new to big aircooled kawasakis and wil be asking lots 
of questions.
