Well, the parts are ordered and the engine block for my GS300L parts bike is sitting on a shop floor, ready for installation. I ordered the rings, o-rings, circlips, and head gaskets. All of the parts are on their way. I'll give them to the mechanic and have him re-assemble the motor. I'll bolt it back into the frame, install the new signal generator, re-wire the bike, install the carbs and set up the throttle and it should start right up. Gonna give the bike to my mom as a late christmas gift. I'll make sure she has a helmet and when she rides, she rides with me. im gonna get her some steel toe boots too. Should be pretty great.

Hey KT,
Saw your thread at KZrider.com where you are thinking about picking up a 1000. Folks there are right of course, 14 year-old kids should be thinking about 250's or maybe a 450, not a 550 lb monster. http://kzrider.com/index.php?option=...d=11&id=341312 Gotta love a guy that thinks big though!Ed

I was surprised by your age, 1 that you want to ride older bikes, and 2 that you can get a license in your state. Here you need to be 16 to get a permit and 16 1/2 to get a license after drivers ed training and all that.
My son is 13 and I could not see him on a motorcyle in 1 year, let alone be willing to work on it. I try to get him out working with me on mine but gets "bored" to quick... its not liek every second of an oil change is supposed to exciting.Comment

Yea, my dad has an 81' KZ1000. He got in in 08. I wanted nothing to do with it when he first got it. Riding on it seemed terrifying. Back then it was like, "hey dad what are those?" Dad says, "Those are the carburetors" I say, "oh, ok". I knew nothing about bikes back then. I rode all summer on a GS300L street bike. I know its a big jump to get a 1000 but, the way i see it, you can die going 30 mph on bicycle if you crash. A 1000 is just heavier and has WAY more horsepower. I love the older bikes. They're just.. cooler im my eyes. Everybody has a crotch rocket, you don't see to many 79' KZ1000s anymore. Not in Sioux city anyway. I only like a crotch rocket if its a hayabusa. I like projects too so this 1000 is gonna be perfect for me. I'll post pics of both the GS300L and the KZ1000 side by side in the summer time when they're both running.Comment

Thats true, when he gets closer to being able to ride he might be more interested in wrenching a bit. He did help our more on his bmx bike, put a set of ape hangers on it that came in the box of parts for my wifes rebel... however some kids passing by took the bmx from the yard one day, sure I told him to lock it or put it in the garage but doesnt excuse whoever took it.
Looks like the came in the path in the back that goes to the Christian school of all places... I asked them if they had any cameras that might have shown who it was but guess they have no security.Comment
