KAWASAKI Z200

Starting to reassemble the 'mini thumper'

 

im gettin to know your garage door real well

 

If you're getting bored just say.......

 

i think he scrubs that door before each pic lol cleanest door i have seen

 

Nice.

I bought a KZ200 for $25 at a garage sale nearly 20 years ago. I stripped it to the bare frame and painted, polished and refurbished it back together. My son, who was a baby in his bouncy seat, and later a wheeled walker tied with a rope to the garage door so he couldn't roll down the drive, kept me company every step of the way.

He starts his freshman year of college next week.

My older brother still rides the KZ200.

Keep up the good work, and keep posting the pictures!

hang a poster or draw a smiley face on the door next time for me

 

Is that soda blasted or did you simply paint the whole mill?

 

here's a poster for ya schooter

 

Wire brush & Hi Temp paint.

 

Not sure I like that, Polock, I'd be frightened to drop a spanner.

 

haha, spanner.

those look like the average people around my village

 

Isn't that because they're "Village people?"

 

...and you just HAPPENED to have that poster, ready to go?

 

yea i keep a pretty good collection of pictures :lol:

 

You're messing with my mind, Polock, I was working in the garage yesterday & I looked up expecting to see that picture??????????

 

hahhahahaha nice

 

DAMMIT guys you just made beer come out my nose from laughing!

That's better than when Polock wanted to poke Daffy Duck with a screwdriver...

 

Fuseboard upgrade, I cut away the rectifier carrier to alow the fuseboard to be mounted on top of the airbox.

 

We have wheels & things.

 

Resurrected.

 

very nice, how's it ride ?

 

We're not quite at the riding stage yet, more the fine tuning & adjustment, I might get a third party to do the actual riding ;0)

 

what would Burt Munro say about that ! test pilot my eye

 

Bushy is on his way over, need I say more?

 

Yes.........and who was th second party that chickened out ?

 

Nice work, son

 

Had to test ride it myself, as you can never find Bushy when you want him.
The starter clutch is goosed, so I had to get Mrs Wiz to tow me with the ute, which is auto & she is not used to that, when you are on the end of a rope & see the reverse lights go on, I can tell you it's a bit un-nerving.
Anyhow, where I had painted the frame, the coil wasn't grounding properly & the plug cap was u s. so the bike is now running sweet. The brakes are c### especially the front bit of nonsense, but I 'spose it was OK in the day. (

 

spray the rotors and pads with some brake cleaner stuff, sometimes that makes a big difference
between you and your motorcycles Ms. Wiz must be a real saint, i think you should take her out to dinner tonight

 

She won't eat out, 'cos no one can cook like her, tonight for instance, I've got chicken tika massalla with a madrass sauce & nann. Sometimes I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me ;o)

 

Only you guys could turn the conversation from rotors to dinner
