Hi guys. Been lurking around your site for awhile now, very informative. I was lucky enough to buy a bike that already had the mods  I would want. I found it on ebay from a guy named Jeff that went by the name Silvergoat on this forum. It's an 89 with yzf forks and wheels and fz1 brakes and rear shock. I'm in the process of fixing all the breaks and cracks in the plastics before new paint. I really appreciate the body of knowledge and community this site provides.

You found the right place to keep your Kookaloo going strong. I am in the process of upgrading the front of my 86'. Stay in touch and enjoy the ride.....

Just your typical convict scum that's usually full of shit...other than that, he seems to be one hell of a great guy, and I look forward to meeting him face to face in Colorado this summer.
Why do you ask?

Welcome to the group Brian.
I live in N.E. Iowa and have road over to the Mississippi a few times.
Maybe you could make an East Coast rally sometime, or the upcoming Colorado Rally.
Great times and great riders.

Welcome Brian, you are ahead of the curve when it comes time for mods, good for you.
Klavdy is a great bloke, a bit outspoken at times, brutally honest in expressing his feelings and he suffers no fools.
