Shortened SS brake lines for the 750cc SS brake conversion as well. Still waiting on a few parts, should be out riding this weekend hopefully. Also, the exhaust is pretty temporary. Overall I just wanted a ā€œquickā€ build so I can get it out riding this season. Over winter Iā€™ll be pulling the motor, having a complete wiring harness made by Luke L and free up anything thats not needed. Custom exhaust, change a few things, blah blah blah. Huge thank you to Nick, Checko and Newman! Couldnā€™t have done it without these chooches. ---

I rode my 72 Kawasaki F7 almost everyday in the winter and last month or so something seized up. I think itā€™s in the tranny. Hopefully I get time to tear it down before it snows again! ---

Hopefully I get time to tear it down before it snows again! I had something similar happen onceā€¦part of the clutch basket on my 1973 Suzuki TS100 enduro bike sheared off and jammed up the the gears and I couldnā€™t move the kickstart. Was greatful thatā€™s all it was once I cracked open the clutch cover. ---
