- A friend of mine told me about this bike in Celina, Ohio so we dropped by to look and decided to purchase the bike. We believe the previous owner took the bike apart to do a sprocket job on it, in the meantime he passed away and a lot of the parts got lost. Our intentions were to sell this as a project bike, now we have a good customer who wants us to customize the bike to suit his taste. Stay tuned for Part Two. Our customer is confident that the bike runs well and has a nice frame, is very solid, and agrees this is a nice candidate for his purposes. Thanks for watching.
Everything you guys touch turns into a work of art.
Wish we had someone like you in the uk...Great work keeping the dream alive...
The shocks have to kaput, right? I'm sure it gets sorted out, coz these guys do great work!
Kenny has the magic touch also. Looking forward to part 2 and can't wait for winter to be over.
She sounds phenomenal !
Love the old Fiche machines....I don't think my eyesight is good enough to work with one anymore, LOL.....Great Vid as Always......
Would love to see rebuilds bigger than 1000 cc, maybe like Kaw 1300 6 cylinder.
Hi johnny love your channel ..wow many many a year since I've seen microfiche when in past motor part dealers that's all they had😊cheers from dave in UK..
I love your Aladdins cave of goodies out this world and well organised. $ days of magic and bang one usable and neat "Z".
Great stuff, glad to see another one saved! Keep up the nice work guys, cheers, Doug
should be called the kawa man ....hands on man knows these bikes inside out
You guys did a great job! I thought that it was a job that I wouldn't want to do. I mean that bike was desecrated! Who would do some of that to such a fine bike? You guys brought it back from the brink. Again, great job!
Great work!
Great video again Johnny 👌🏻
Was it from Celina, Texas?
ohio

Was it from Celina, Texas? This is one of my favorite refurbishments!
No, this was from Celina, Ohio!
Could also use a rear hub from a 750 twin they use the same parts
You're right. Thanks for the info, that should make life a little easier.
Didn't realize people still use microfiche machines to look up parts, lol.
Thanks for looking at our videos, Polkhero. We actually prefer the Parts Books, if at all possible. Our second choice is the Microfiche. We feel that there is a lot of information lost in the translation to the Internet. It's third-generation information, and doesn't serve our purposes as well. I guess that's why they call us "Vintage."

Are you saying "gooned"? Must be a regional colloquialism.
Not sure if it's regional or not. I picked it up from one of my mentors about 30 years ago and thought it was a very fitting term for things that "aren't quite right."
