A guy from work GAVE me a 1987 VN750 with a broken internal shift shaft for free. It had been sitting for years and his wife wanted it off the property.
So.......I now have a project to work on and I just got the kawasaki to a roller state - minus the brakes. Working on the brakes now. Need new front brake pistons and a seal kit of course - the original pistons were corroded. Found a guy in England that carries them relatively cheap tho. :motorcycl
I am doing the military OD Green with a white army star in a circle thing. I was in the US Army and have always liked that look. :carryflag
I have a bunch of pics on the process - need to upload them to a host then I will do up this thread better.
Later - BigJeff
It looked like this when I got it - engine was out of frame and many parts in boxes:
I stripped it down to this and painted the frame:
And have rebuilt it up to this so far:
All it takes is money and a boatload of time! Right? lol
My other two bikes:
