New member. I have been riding for about 4 years now.. Like my older cruiser bikes.. Currently working and wrenching on my 1987 Kawasaki 454 ltd. Selling my nighthawk. Looking to meet more local riders for safe rides.

How-D ! and welcome. I know a guy that has a barn find KZ650(I think it is) that he'd sell cheap if you want another project. I think he said like $350 or something like that. It needs a lot of tlc  but it's all there, you never know.

Welcome

Just wondering are white socks still popular out that way?  :-)

I lived in Parma Heights from age 0-4, then at 2 places in Parma from 23-32 with a year in Cleveland proper in 2007/2008  - I don't understand what you're asking.

 

I'm right down the road from the OP now.  No street bike at the moment.  My next streetable bike will have to be something I can also race in F1/Supermoto with OMRL, but I'm too cheap to buy one, and would have to clean out our shed to store it :p

 

I do like the 454 though.  From a historic perspective, it's a cool part of the Ninja 900 development - basically half of that engine, and then later bored to 498 for the EX500 (my first bike).

I guess i assumed that was an old people thing, not a parma thing. 

Back in HeavyDuty's day Parma wasn't stereotyped as the same thing it is today. It was stereotyped as old people, primarily polish

That makes more sense. Still a lot of polish. Nicky's on State has awesome food and cheap booze. 

 

I I have spent a lot of time there.

Factory bars are back on it now. those where nice bars but until I get a single speedo tach combo I need the factory to clear the gauges.

I put this gauge on my cb750 project bike. Koso makes pretty solid high quality stuff, I'm happy with it.
