Hi,
Well I retired after 30 years and it's time to start a new line of work. So I've decided after working on my own bikes for years to start to restore them. Not to start off easy I've acquired a 1981 kz1300 that's been sitting in a carport for a decade or two, which is probably why I got it for $200. It's almost complete but I'm going to be looking for the headlight assembly and side covers. I've got a lot of soda blasting and time with an ultrasonic cleaner, and polishing ahead of me.

So far it seems like a rather cool bike, I remember them when they came out and it sure feels smaller to sit on that it's ever looked in pictures!

Glad to see a great site like this, looking forward to getting started!

Well done on getting to retirement, & welcome to the site.

I cannot think of anything better to do with your time than get lost in a 1300 project !

Keep us informed as to how it progresses & were all here to help.
