Default My little '81kz550...

I bought it as a youngster. Slowly evolved into this...

DynaS ignition with Accel wires and coils
DynaJet adjustable carb kits
Owner turned velocity stacks
MotoGP'd mac header...
I machined the rearsets at home
Aluminum flyscreen by me
un-rubbed silver laquer paint
clubman bars
wisco 615cc kit
38 tooth polished sprocket

Bought it in '86 and like to ride it better than my scary zx7R!
