    Hi guys,

    just found you courtesy of the Kawasaki Twin Owners forum.

    I’ve got several projects on the go including a TR1 60’s style Cafe Racer and a BMW K100 Streetfighter. The KZ750 is going to fill the urge for a vertical twin in my garage.

    Been into bikes – building and riding – since the late 50’s.

    Retired now and got time to indulge my hobby !

    Hi Michael,

    what part of Germany ?

    We have a place in Reichenau [ot Haselbatchtal ] – 30 kms North of Dresden.

    We have a Pig Roast / BBQ for our German biker friends there in late August.

    KK thanx for the welcome [ and others ].

    I’m certain that with the specialised knowledge hereabouts that I will be able to get my Flat Tracker project finished early next year.

    I will certainly need help with the wiring – the loom on the bike was scrap !

    I keep looking at the frame and swing arm – and wonder if I wouldn’t be better off starting with a frame in reasonable condition – Mine has quite bad surface rust, and of course the chopped frame rails have to be replaced.However, that’s a relatively small point as a good shotblasting will no doubt sort that out !

    In reality the only major outlay left is the stainless high level exhaust and the welding up of the Weber intake – I have pretty well most of the other parts needed.

    BTW – due to the particularly violent shade of Yellow I intend to use, I’m naming the bike “Not so Mellow Yellow”. It follows on from my Porsche 356 California Speedster [ replica ] of the same name.
