1982 KZ1300 rescue and rebuild

A very proud moment for you Stan ! 13 months !!! Shows what some good ole fashioned dedication, perseverance and imagination can accomplish !!
......and ALL done in a 6th floor apartment ??? Amazing !
Congrats STAN !

Now that the first excitement is over, I can sit and have a quiet moment. Yesterday, after I came home, I watched those videos on my phone probably 25 times!? hahahaha
It was really the best music to my ears in a long time.

I'd like to thank everyone on the forum who followed this journey, and especially those who got involved with advise and guidance. I'd also like to express my special gratitude to a few fellas who gave a special attention to this project, with their time and even money, even helping me out with certain parts. You know who you are, I want make a list as I know everything came equally from the heart. Saying this, I'd like to give special thanks to scotch for his dedication and presence I could always count on, the many advises from Kawboy, Lare, and a special thank you to Biltonjim for getting the bike the fork ears it was missing!

It's been a very enjoyable battle, although sometimes not the easiest and frustrating, involving many complications in a not very typical and difficult circumstances. I can honestly say that I truly did beat the odds. So, my last thank you is to all the readers who put up with my sometimes crankiness.

Time for a coffee and then.... another warm up of the bike!! :woohoo:

well done Stan truly inspirational i think many people would have given up given the problems you were presented with and you have solved the problems with hard graft and dedication rather than money ,i take my hat off to you sir

Hi Stan,

Yea, great effort there Stan. With three of us in BC , about 4 or 5 hours apart - might be able to met up sometime in the future- compare war stories.

So what's going to happen now -all the excitements over.
Oh, I know - the Tri Magnum.
