This is my bike.  As you can see the previous owner did some mods.  I bought it for $400. so i cant complain. it was running and all i had to do to safty was out a coil on it and change some bulbs and the tires.

Looks to be like you've got no intake filtering at all.   :o

Frame has been modded too.  How do the welds look?

Someone put a lot of time into it, thats for sure.

Makes you wonder what's in the chrome battery box in front of the oil tank, doesn't it?  :)

sorry the battery is hanging loose because i just had it out to charge.  Im having a volyage problem right now and even with the kill switch engaged and the key in the off position, the battery still dies after a week.  As for the welds, all the main parts r still stock welds but you can see where he made mods and the welding is ok.  I can do better and i will fix them when i have the bike stripped.  The are no cracks so im not too worried.  I dont ride much right now do to life issues, so it s a moot point.  thanks for the replys.  Any comments good or bad  are welcome.  the only thing i dont like is he put the starter button under the frame on the left side.  cool idea but difficult to reach.

Most likely just a bad battery.  Have you checked the voltage of the battery with the ignition off, then on, then with the bike running?

That's a great seat. It's bigger than the one on my KZ.  I bet it's real comfy for the passenger.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.
