    Default Finally got the Saki on the road.......

    Got the bike a little over two years ago from a friend who never rode it. He dropped the bike back in 1986 and could not get started so he just let is sit for a little over twenty years. He told me if I wanted it I could take it.

    The bike is a 1980 Kawasaki KZ550 LTD. I ended up redoing the whole carb and ignition setup to gut it to run again and had to get new sprockets, tires and a chain. I went ahead and ditched the sissy bar and cruiser handlebars in favor of a sporty-ish setup.

    Finally took it out yesterday for the first time ever and it ran like a champ. At this point I am either going to sell it for REALLY cheap or just make it a streetfighter.
