need new bike

27 Jul 2008 23:18

hello, i owned a 78 kz1000 and just had the compression checked and two of the cylinders were like 85 so i need a new bike. I was wondering where the best place to find a kz with a solid engine would be. I dont even car how it looks i just want a solid eengine.

Thanks!

New or "new to you"? I have really good luck with Craigslist, personally.

...what do you want for your old KZ1000?

Tess: 1977 KZ650-C1. VM24, 97.5/15/3rd. Dyna-S. Stock exhaust, coil mod performed, BR7EIX.

Angel: 1982 GPz550. Stock. DR8EIX.
