    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!

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

    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. :eek:(

    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
