LOL I know, I would do something different color wise if it was my bike, but it is a clients, and he is old school all black and chrome:)
All that is left to do now is Lace it and put on the buckles and straps.
Tikkimies means Stitch Man in Finish (Suomi)...it is my clients business name, and it is the sides of the bag.
He has a Patch company that makes all the patches for all the bike clubs here in Finland. And has his own crew of 51 members as well.
Actually.....you as a lot of folks out there are VERY WRONG:)
In the 1970's Kawasaki had a plant in Lincoln Nebraska and Maryville Missouri; this bike just like 100,000 of thousands of others labeled Kawasaki, are Stamped All over the place MADE IN THE USA!
Under the Plastic leg covers is where I first discovered it, then on the frame, and the tank bottom.....hmmmmmmmm
Why is it....OH YA....IT WAS MADE IN THE USA:)
Kawasaki could not keep up with the demand for their products so they opened an all American shop....GO FIGURE.
Besides The KZ 900 being the #1 VERY FIRST SUPER BIKE. This is exctly the bike that I love to find in back yards covered up in the garage and almost pay me to take cause they think they are embarrassed to be seen on them by there HD buddies...but I go away Laughing my arse off every time! Cause I know the truth...hahhahaa
I have had about 4 of these:) And in that 4 I have gotten all but 1 for free (and I only paid 200 for that one:) in running condition after a carb cleaning and some new points. and seem to bring a good chunk of change after they are all in running order and a few upgrades....maybe our Aussi buddies will chime in, but this is one of the BEST MADE BIKES EVER! And just because it says Kawi on it...I can buy them all day for free-2000 bucks in mint condition:) LOLOOLOL...
But that is ok.....keep thinking they are crap and jap...it keeps down the cost on this American Made Sleeper:)
