So i snagged this frankenstein for 185. its def in rough shape. the guy said it was a 81 650, but im pretty sure its a 79 kz 650 B3.
Any work that was done on this bike was done completely fucked. wiring is worse than any mess of a beehive from a stock bike. The batt box is welded to the bottom of a swing arm, the welds look like a 4 year old did it with a glue gun. And the PO went fucking WILD with black spray paint. It looks like he sprayed half the bike while everything was still assembled. Spray over the guages, over the pod filters. I dont understand how it didnt cross his mind that painting the filters would clog them. The tank is some corroding plastic dirt bike tank, and the seat is a wrapped piece of wood.
Good part, is the engine looks good and it turns over and seems to have compression. Its allready got a 4-1 and stretched quite a bit. I def have my work cut out for me. But it should be fun as soon as I get my other kz650 going which shouldnt be too long now. Just took a chance with the motor but for only 185 i thought it was worth the risk. Just thought Id show you guys what I scooped up
