Hi
My names Steve and sometimes answer to fozzie.
I'm based in Kettering - UK
Own 3 bikes ... the current project is a 1981 KZ 650 F2.
The other ones are a Honda 919 Hornet ( 2002 ) & a Suzuki T250 II ( 1970 )
A long time member of the V.J.M.C.
Hope to further my knowledge of this machine ( the KZ ) using this forum.

Good choice on a kz/z650 project.
