1978 kz650 basket case

Hello all,
I had a nice big writeup about what I have done and what I plan to do on my new kz650, but it just dissapeared and it's to late to do it all over again. Anyway here are some pictures to show you what the past week has entailed. Have about 500 USD wrapped up in her so far and fired her for the first time tonight.

Looks like all the stock paint is in good shape. That's a serious bonus since most have been mutilated by now. I hope you plan to keep the stock paint. Ed

Welcome.

The pictures are not showing for me.
Can you repost them?

I hate when a post I've written disappears like that.
I will copy long posts, before I loose it all, as it has happened to me before too.

Some more pics after a quick bath. Still looking for a 2 1/2 in slip on and gotta pull the cams this weekend to install 2 bolts I missed the first time around.
