First Ride on my (restored) KZ750E
01 Nov 2015 07:51
Took my project bike for a quick spin this morning. It's been a fun project, but glad it's almost done. Still have some details that need tending too. Main thing is sending the exhaust out for ceramic coating. At any rate, thought I'd post a few photos just in case anyone is interested...

Absolutly fab Nessim!
Just wondering was black a original color option in the US?
In the EU I have only seen the E1 in burgundy red and silver metallic.

Wow, beautiful job there mate. That is a superb effort. They are not a bad looking bike in stock trim. Slightly lower bars on there?

Yes, low bars...and matching GPz (shorter) cables.
The paint is a mix of black and pearl blue. It looks black except when the sun hits it. I saw photos of a black 750E before, but don't know if it was sold in the US.

That is just the most awesome restoration. Everthing is perfect. Every little detail covered. Love the colour.
Looks like it just came off a showroom floor.
Well done
I bet it runs as good as it looks !
