Project Kzoo K0 is on the road...
« on: June 16, 2009, 11:20:04 PM »
Finally figured out the wiring issues on the 1970 K0 I picked up last summer and got her on the road. She needs a good tune-up, carb sync etc., seems to run like a beast once she's warmed up though. Can't really decide what I'm going to do with her in the future, I'd love to do a complete restoration to original specs, but cash is tightish right now, and I actually kind of like the rough looks she has going on now. Got a couple of glamour shots by a friend who happened to be shooting at the local skatepark.

Doesn't look that rough on the pics zooy.  Actually looks pretty nice.  Once you get it dialed in she will run like the wind.  Nice job there....

Even in the world of the 750, it's hard to beat the lines of the K0. The dipped, ducktailed seat that follows the line of the pipes, the bold 4-of-everything appearance... ahhhh...

Easy... You just remember that you have the full amount of engine updates as well as that cool 80's forerunner styling.

Everything looks better with a little extra blow spilled on it.  ;) :D
