Battery Box fabricated for 1958 Mi-Val M5L

Work begins on 1978 KZ1000 LTD

The Kawasaki is on the bench.  Ready to cleanup and get running again.

The side covers on both sides have deep gouges.  I assume this happened in transport.

Original mileage.  The bike hasn't been run in 30 years. The fuel system including the tank and carbs will need to be cleaned.

Footpeg mystery on 1958 Mi-Val M5L

Can you spot what's wrong with this footpeg?

Can you see it now?

Notice the chip?

It's carved out of wood.

I owned it for three months before someone else pointed it out to me.

Replacement rubber footpeg.

Custom cover installed on 1980 Yamaha XS650 Street Tracker

I picked this up from Mike's XS.  It was reasonably priced and doesn't say Yamaha on it.

Appears to have the cafe treatment. It was parked across the street and I wasn't able to get a closer look.
