1980 Cycle World article on the KZ750

I picked up an 82 KZ 750 LTD on Saturday.

The seller included a folder with some service records and stuff with it. One thing he had was scans of a 6 page article from June 1980 of Cycle World about the "New Class Champ" KZ750.

I wasn't sure if the site Admin would want to host it for everyone else to see if I scanned it. I don't know where he got it, or if it's available online already. Maybe he printed it from kzrider.com. I did a quick search and didn't find anything.

I can only scan it as seperate JPGs though. I don't have anyway to make it a PDF or anything.

I'm also not sure of the rules of posting the info online, though it is nearly 30 years old.

If the Admin doesn't want it, I can host it on my photobucket, but like I said, it would be 7 seperate pages (Magazine cover, 5 article pages and a specs page).

If you go up above and click the KZ Information tab, then Filebase, select 1980, select KZ750E1 etc etc you can find 2 magazine articles on the KZ750. One is from Cycle Guide and the other from Cycle - check them out. Somewhere along the way theres a button which says "Submit File". I'm always interested in old articles on the 750.

How to get them into pdf though ? Sounds like you need a buddy with a scanner.

I have a scanner, but pdf isn't an option. I'll see what I can figure out.

Try CutePDF Writer - just put your images into a document (Word works) and print to PDF. This has saved me a zillion times.

And it's free.

If you have trouble with that, I can do it for you - just share the images somehow and I can assemble the PDF.

And if you don't have MS Office, download Open Office (it's free) which includes an export to PDF option. There are really a lot of tools to convert images into a PDF. The Great Google is your friend. :)
