Hey Stryn... I had to look these cars up. Is yours a coupe? Couldn't tell by the pics. Some of these TC fastback coupes from the right angle look like mini '66 or '67 Dodge Chargers.

its a sedan..the Knudsen front is on the germany made..its the 1600 pinto engine cast iron ohc  engine..a bit sad it not are the v6..but still a 1974 in good shape..and Automatic 3 gear..not the most sold  in denmark
i once had a v6 coupe...great pulling strong ..but not so fast car..but most cars vas 1000 and 1200 cc in the 70..in denmark..so 2,0 v6 vas a big car
think the Knudsen front vas a crysler thing..but look great on this small car

MERCY - Nov 1st in Michigan and temps in the 70's with sunny skies. Had to meet a lady at my shop and knew I was going out riding afterwards.Rode the K2 down and thought about taking out a big Suzuki. While waiting for her I looked over and seen the poor Kaw 900 Z1B sitting there with spiderwebs etc. on it. Had not ridden it in over a year. WTH - put a battery in(same as a 750 Honda) turned on the gas and prodded the starter button and boom she came right to life, old  gas and all. So in Steve-o's honor I took her out for a 100 mile Kentucky tune-up. Sure she loved the taste of some fresh premium to get her through the winter. Forgot how much I really enjoy riding this bike. Hopefully we have another date together before its all over around here  ;)

Took my 750 for a ride today. Been raining for about a week and a half at my location here in New England. I just happened to be off and the sun was shining and took advantage of it !! The snow will be here soon.

        Didn't really do anything to any of my bikes today, but started making some plans, for the near future. Does that count?  ;)

That's a nice old Zed Eric, make sure you pack it well when you send that container down to Oz for your retirement fund! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Quadruple check your grounds and maybe even run separate test grounds to other areas to verify.

From what I can see you don't have the turn signals grounded.  If those two wires are turn and running , then ground is missing...Larry

Those aftermarket blinker wires are sometimes just thrown on there. Mine were not "what I thought" when I did mine and I ended up blowing some fuses in the process.
