talkin about bad luck

03 Feb 2014 13:54

Picked a one family owned 75 Z1 last night, bike was five minutes from my house. The dad bought it new T boned a car shortly after purchase and had the dealer replace the frame. Dad gives bike to son who in turn T bones a car. Bike was dirt cheap, runs and I still need to go back and get the side covers. Luckily I have a Kaw Z1 replacement frame handy. Bike will never be a restoration project ,just get it running back on the road as a bar to bar bike

Nice save Greg. How did the dealer 'mark' the replaced frame?
