Round 3, FOAK: 1982 Kawie KZ550 C3 LTD Restoration Options
Wed, 7 Oct 2009 10:12:08 -0700 (PDT)
Thanks to all who have helped me so far! I followed your advice,
changed BOTH throttle cables, and the force needed to control the
throttle is much less, the bike is now rideable for at least short

Farting and coughing
Wed, 7 Oct 2009 17:27:48 +0100

thanks. ...

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:51:45 GMT
Er, sometimes I'm a bit hard of thinking...

Unfortunately, I never did anything about getting the damn wheel out of
my shed and now can't remember who was interested.
