KZ1000 Update
I’ve been making some steady progress with the KZ. Mostly in part to getting some lift time in the Somerset garage to work on it.

The bike runs like shit because the intake cam was off a tooth. When correcting it I found the cam journals to be out of place and partially blocking the oil port… not cool. It appears this caused some scoring on the cams unfortunately. Reassembled correctly and hopefully it’s all good for now.

Rick and I stopped by Kevin’s shop to pick up mighty fest tickets (2 posts below) and see how the XS is coming along.
Pretty sure Ed’s will be faster.
Holy crap, that KZ is sick. When did you get this?
