    Hello,

    I've come upon a KZ750H 'project'. I realize that making projects out
    of old mcycles is not always advisable. However, any bike I want to
    buy now is going to run from $9K to $18K, and I don't have that kind
    of 'spare change'. So, I have this old/odd 4-cyl. KZ with a 19" front
    whl, a 16" rear whl, and a Km/h speedo ( just Km/h, no mph markings ).
    I want to toss out some ideas and see what people might find
    feasible.

    1st is to get the eng. running, I'm told it used to run. The 4-1 hdr.
    is damaged so replace that. Anyone like a particular set for older
    KZs at a reasonable price?

    So now some more challenging items. One idea I'm tossing around is to
    fit the engine in a '82 or later GPz chassis, doable? Go to 17"
    wheels/tires? Find a custom sport frame, any available?

    Fixing her up and selling her for a profit just ain't gonna happen as
    I'm bound to spend more than she'll sell for. So, it might be fun to
    do something with her, or I could just give her back.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanx.

    Half the fun of fixin' up an oldie like yer talkin' about is scrounging
    for the parts. There should be enough around at reasonable prices as to
    Not be a ball buster. Just don't go overboard. :)
