...she's found a new home.

Pictures will be up soon, but I have added another motorcycle to the garage.

I stuck with Kawasaki, this time it's a 1979 KZ650D-SR. So, It's a bigger engine and has already started going through the paces of being turned in to a sportier bike.

She's got a fairing on it that needs to be brought back a bit. a really bad multi color paint job, and handlebars that need to go away.

Lucky for me I have a set of clubman z bars at the house ready to go. This Saturday I am picking up the paint for the bike, and it's going to be a very nice matte black all slick and ready to roll. I'm still toying with getting header wrap on it. I'm not sure if I want to do that this weekend. The pipes are already black and the 1:40 minute drive from Oconomowoc to Racine really didn't heat up my legs that much. So it might just stay the way it is for now.
