You can get new repro hip and knee joints and heart valves and maybe some teeth but the rest would have to be new old stock.

A fellow co-worker owns the second bike behind it and the Eddie Lawson, also in the show. He won second with his Yamaha. I see that you are from Marietta as well. I rode there and will do that again but hopefully, in cooler weather next year. That was my first time at Barber’s Vintage Fest. I like the way they treat folks that ride in with easy access to the grounds.

Its a great place to ride to for us in the Atlanta area, did it on cb#2 a few years ago. Took a truck this time in case I couldn't say no to a classic.

Aman...I always felt the Dlx was very much like my 77 KZ 1000 in looks, dimensionally, and performance. Loved the big KZ, love my Dlx.

No, I have a black '14. I was parked at the Porsche garages, I was told, across the road from the cafe' entrance. I think it is called Ace Corner. Had I known, I could have parked the bike where my buddy was set up at the display. the shuttle was convenient and often. I know what you mean. The swap meet was large and good stuff. Did you find something to carry back home? I plan to get a room next year and go for two days at least. I probably need to reserve one now if it isn't too late already. The ride for me was about 6 hours believe it or not and I hadn't gotten my seat redone or puppy grips at that time. The cheesy gloves I wore didn't help the numbing grip. Next year ought to be more comfortable. Still an awesome event for someone into vintage bikes no matter what.

HeavyMetalMech, There were a collection of bikes that were tempting in the flea markets. I was looking for a cb750/900F or a GS750/1000 but nothing was in as good of shape as this Kawi 750. I just didn't pull the trigger on it.

Had a 750 Zephyr many years ago, loved that bike! Doesn't look right with a chrome front fender IMO.
