Looking good so far. I would like to stumble upon a Z1 someday. You will have to let me know how you like the struts. I have been wanting to lower my kz750, but am not sure about going hardtail.

How much lower did that make it? And did you had to press in new bushings to fit the kz?

Ok so know I am in primer have my chrome goodies new bars and Yes The Dyna came in as I mentioned I live 50 miles from my bike so it would be the weekend before i hear it run or until I at least until i find the next problem carbs havent been off yet at minimum to be cleaned. My theory is fix one Problem at a time if you take everything apart work on it put it back together if you have a problem then you have too start from square one. (thats just my theory I still label my pluwires)

Camaroguy, my girl has a friend at the county clerks office she says they can run an out of state polish check So you might ask them at your courthouse to do that she also said to go to the circuit court judges office they have a form you fill out and the judge can give you legal ownership then its just a matter og applying for a title hope that helps

@gengomerpyle: The instructions made it fairly easy. I was switching from stock electronic ignition to Dyna-S, so I'm not sure how much more might be involved switching from points. It shouldn't be bad either way though.
