I suggest you don't even wash it, because the temptation to get it "really clean" will have you stripping it down before you know it!!   Good lookin' machine there John!! What shocks are those? |

Yeah, I will be waiting for parts for a while, so just wanted to play a bit, and not let it sit for the Summer in pieces. She will get torn down when I have all the parts and mods figured out.
The shock are probably progressive that have been around forever. Got them on Ebay for 100 bucks, new. I might try some stock springs, if any will fit, as they are sprung for much heavier bikes. A test ride will tell the tale.
Do you guys think a Busa front end would look out of place?........ LOL J/K

Yeah, the Busa front end would look great as well as help keep the front tire planted... |

I told him it would look good with a Wide Glide front end on it.

I'm pretty sure the forks would weigh more than the whole bike! Lil

My tires came in! got a 120mm for the front, and a 200mm for the back. But they both sure look like 76mm's to me.  I thought 50.00 a set sounded cheap!   |

Back in 74 at the local Kawi dealer I was looking at a 90 for a whopping $425..lime Green..My Dad said NO too small and we bought my 70 A1 Samurai for $450..A female Councilor at BCI High school bought the bike and she loved it.

At the age of 16, my Dad took me to the local Kawasaki dealer and "we" bought a 1969 G3SS which I drove the wheels off of. $379.99 was the price Ian. Loved it, just loved it. I now have a 1974 G3SS that belonged to the ex, I kept it. Grandsons are going to need something bigger when I ween them off of the Dynamite.  |
