KZ650 Sleeper Build (KZ1000 engine transplant)

I met up with Rob (rstnick) and John (JR) from the forum at the swap meet on Saturday. Both of them local boys, it was nice to have a short chat and glad they made it out.

Looked thru vendor stalls on Friday and came away with a KZ750 shaft drive FSM and a mint KZ650 Chilton manual to replace my filthy dog eared unit. On Saturday after breakfast I found some other parts, some Accel yellow coils and a SH775 regulator all for rock bottom pricing. Got given a few misc metric open end wrenches and on Saturday night someone offered some free $10 Sunday breakfast tickets because they had to leave unexpectedly.

Overall had a great time with some great people.

I went to a local automotive speed shop and the bulk wire they had did not match what I needed, but they did have this Universal repair kit which is the exact wire that I have! 

 

It does have some redundant ends included, but they will go in my "plug wire" spares box The wire is 54" long so there will be plenty left if I ever have one break on me.

Can't really start working on this as my Touring bike is still in the garage and needs to be drained of fuel then sent back to into storage to free up some room.
