Wow. Where does the time go?
I have not given up, but I also don't have much progress to report either. VooDoo Vintage in Austin TX is hardtailing the frame for me right now. That will save me time plus get my ass motivated to finish the rebuild. Dave at VooDoo is a great guy and a great craftsman. He wants to sell kz750 hardtail kits and he's using my frame for the prototype.
I'm just starting to put the motor back together. I'm really over my head and the shop manual isn't detailed enough for me. But onward we must go!
I'll post updates soon!
One month before I started this restoration bobber project, I knew next to nothing about motorcycles (or engines for that matter). Camshaft? No clue. Petcock? Sorry. But I did know that the piston goes up & down so that at least was something. I also knew this: No matter how long this takes, I will one day ride a kickass custom hand-built kz750 hardtail bobber.
