Congratulations on being February BOTM, you deserve iit.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Wow! .......nice build and great photos documenting it. Looks like you were stuck with the same reproduction seat foam I used....seems like it was for an 1980 model?

Yes there is only a repro silencer & clamps available at the moment for the standard pipes.
Perhaps one day someone will produce the front part?
Have seen a few with a four pipe conversion using Z1 items - which I think was also done by dealers in Germany back in the day - so kind of original.
