If not one thing...

it's another. I finally got all three bikes up and on the road, '82 KZ1100s. When I got close to getting the third bike up, something breaks on one of the other two and I have to steal a part to fix it until ebay comes across with a replacement part. Anyway, when riding home from work last Friday, I thought the front brake felt a little soft. This bike has been down for about 5 months due to a valve and ring job and from me stealing parts. I look down and lo and behold, the master cylinder is leaking. Bummer. I can't complain because when I got the bike 14 years ago the master cylinder was frozen with corrosion which I just cleaned out and when I bled the system it held pressure and had continued to do so all these years. The order is in for a rebuild kit. If I had a new bike, what would I do on Saturday mornings waiting for the wife to get out of bed? I am an early riser and she works nights.........chris3

How do you keep straight on which bike needs what? Do you have a master list of parts taken from bike 1,2,&3? Do you have three battery chargers to keep the batteries up during the winter? Expiring minds want to know.

and ride all year long. Two of the bikes are identical and the other is just a variant of the first two, one KZ1100A2, and two KZ1100D1s, all 1982 year. I have been working on these KZ bikes since 1973. I can take them apart and put them back together blindfolded.......too old to change the kind of bike I ride.....chris3
