Very cool bike for sure.Is the motor pretty stock? I see a front fork indent in the tank.Was that from your little get off or on purpose for clearance? Brad Yes, the motor is still stock internally.  Good question!  The tank indents were supposed to be a practical solution to the forks crashing into the tank at full lock. Truth is, we just moved the fork stops anyway and the indents were not needed. |

The little sprocket on the right side of your post, click the arrow beside it to get a drop down list of options. One is "delete post".

What an awesome bike! The next one I do for myself will be a big KZ. They ARE fun!  The special feeling I have for this one is connected to the fact that I lusted after a z1 from my youth and I bought the kz new in '77. It was the best I could do in '77.  It's been an on-going love affair ever since. |

I should have posted a pic of the carbs too. Here you go:  BS34's off a 1000J model. A pretty straight forward swap. Great throttle response and a little more 'jump' in the old girl!  |

Well, it's looking like my 'year old' electrical issues might just be a bad stator.  Ned has kindly loaned me his, so we should have an answer soon. |
