TOPIC:

Just like to say hi and good to be here. Bikes I own. 82 KZ1300 A4, 86 Honda VF1000R, 93 Yamaha GTS1000, 74 Moto Guzzi Convert, 07 Ducati Multistrada 1100s, BMW k1200LT. I love to ride and restore older bikes, different stuff interests me as you can tell. I am an Engineer by trade and oil flows through my veins.

Couple of mods I have made to the KZ1300.
1 Hydraulic clutch conversion. Easy pull, no problems in traffic. Matching brake master cylinder with adjustable levers.
2 Low pressure fuel pump, supplies fuel at 2 psi, immediate starts hot or cold, comes on with ignition fed from old fuel line solenoid valve I removed. No fuel starvation in extremely hot weather.
3 Three Nology coils meant for a Harley, got rid of old coils and ignition system, uprated hot wires and caps.
4 Cooling fan over-ride switch.
4 Kicked up the exhausts to gain ground clearance, looks better, easy access to back wheel spindle.

Thx...

Welcome BIKERGUY to the forum. Photo's pronto if able. Have a soft spot for the BMW K1200LT. Less hassle than the Z1300 that own.

Is that a 750 twin from about 1978 I bought one of them when I was young for $100 got it running and sold it I have always regretted selling it.

Yes a 1978 B2 model. Though not reg till 1980. Lucky you getting one for a 100 AUS dollars this one cost £1100 and in need of some TLC big time. Every thing had been painted with a yard brush and just spent the last 12 months bringing back to a clean and tidy bike.
Looks as though becoming a classic as prices are going up and 1 just sold for £2250 on ebay UK

Hope these pics show up, I have a couple more to take pics of, the GTS and the Beemer.
