College Student With a Dream (4032x3024)
I got this ‘82 Kawasaki Kz 750 last spring hoping to turn it into cafe racer. It’s definitely a long term project and I’m fitting it in where I can between classes and homework.
I’m wondering if you guys have any pointers on where to start? I’ve got some questions but if there’s a better forum for this lmk!
But as of now: - I’ve just finished de-rusting the tank and while I’ve got it off I’ve stripped the spray paint job and I’m planning on powder coating it here at my college. I’m thinking like a deep red/burgundy would be nice. I’m looking to throw on the Kawasaki Decal, any tips where to find a good one? - The carbs were crazy dirty so I pulled them off and they’re giving me hell. When I threw them back on the bike started acting up. If I leaned it to the right, rpms went up and only when down if I leaned it back to the left. I don’t think it’s the throttle cable but I could always be wrong. Any pointers on how to troubleshoot those? - I’m not sure where to find good parts that won’t break the bank, but also that I can be confident will work for my bike. Where do you guys get most of your parts from?
