Well last Wednesday afternoon the weather was great in Cornwall so I went on a 65km run. I stopped in at our local Kawasaki dealer (Bob's cycle). When I was ordering parts for my bike I showed pictures of my bike to bob and I could see his mouth drop and he looked up at me and said were did you buy that bike. I told him and he said I think I built that bike. He worked at that dealer as a young man 38 years ago. I told him when I got the bike running I would stop in for him to have a look. He like it!!

Hello Guys I hope everyone is doing well. I have a question. The only non original parts on the bike are the front brake lines and I want it all original. I have purchased the upper and lower lines but I can`t locate the aluminum pipe line to the caliper #43060-016. Would a motorcycle shop be able to make one?

I don't see why not. You may be able to use one from a different model and bend it yourself to the right profile. I did that to convert a left caliper line to a right one for my double disk setup on my h1. Was pretty easy to do and no one has called me out on its inauthenticity. Oops, I've said too much.

I have a pipe off a '74 S3...I know the caliper is different (and the MC) but if the pipe is the same you can have it.

Hello Guys The brake parts are in one is aftermarket oh well. I ended up mailing the part from England to my house around the same shipping price. The metal pipe only took 8 days to get here. I am now looking for those original black quick ties for the handle bars. The wires are just hanging there. Cheers Trevor

Hello Guys Look what I found in my basement. I am going to ask Randy (triplecraze) to ask his girlfriend if I can transfer my old 78 plate back to my bike. She works at the license bureau.

Hello Guys Hope everyone is well. Another stove top photo. I replaced my foot pegs I drop the bike years ago and have been looking at that peg and it was driving me crazy. Ordered them from Diablo.
