I hooked up with this guy in Washington State over the internet and bought a big box of spare kz200 parts for $30 including shipping. It took two weeks, but it got here today. Boy oh Boy am I happy with this purchase. The box had a few things that I don’t need and hopefully I will end up selling these parts, but it also included brand new fork seals, brand new shiny starter, engine covers that are in real bad shape on the engine that I am working on are in immaculate condition in this box. The best of it are the grease seals for the steering stem and ball bearing assembly, SWEET…
So besides all that I got myself a grinder and been cutting and polishing some metal. I cut off a seat lock. I ravaged the welding and was worried until I put the grinder to work again and grinded the metal smooth. I then practiced some of the striping on the rear part of the frame that I am planning to chop off. Pictures are below and I am happy with the result.
I decided that I am going to take the chassis apart again, strip it completely and get it powder coated with the bars and everything else. In addition to this I started to take the motor apart. Took the cases off and the engine threw up on me. Yes, through up on me with a mixture of goo, old oil and rust. I spoke to a friend of mine who is a mechanic and he offered to soak the entire thing in parts cleaner over night for me at his shop. That beats it sitting in a bucket of diesel in my garage, so I will take the engine to his shop tomorrow. Some photos below:
