1978 KZ1000 LTD nut and bolt resto

Can't go wrong with all black.  Had mine painted black in the early 80's and when it gets repainted (in a year or so) it'll be all black again.

Love the turbo. I have had the pleasure to ride many different bikes and brands over the years. Never had the chance to ride a turbo KZ. I may have had the chance to ride Jeffs from Z1 enterprises years ago but I passed for one reason or another. Nice bike!

It will put a smile on your face that doesnt go away.
Coming up on boost is like adding another motor to the bike.

Yes, looks great!  Are the front signals on the headlight!  I thought LTD signals were on the bars.


 

Thanks Hard Rock Miner, Everyone else's turn signals are mounted to the handlebars but I tend to be, not like everyone else. Did not like the stock LTD bars back in the day and I don't care for them today. They are mounted to the headlight and they are stock "Honda" turn signals. This resto will Not be a back to stock resto, it will be a what I like resto. I will keep all the stock parts just so when I die my son will get more $$$ for the bike with the original parts and pieces.

I didn’t like the stock bars on my 900 LTD either and ended up putting the bars from the early years CB750 and I love ‘em. Perfect width and angle and still room for the signals to mount. I actually like the look of the signals on the bars

@ rivman.  Beautiful bike, as are all in this thread.  Is that exhaust an original Murray X-pipe, or are they still available new ?   And how does it sound ? Thanks ahead.

I’m curious also.

Curious too

Its unclear if they can still provide pipes, by the looks of it its probably a custom order process, contact info :

It took me like two or three years to restore my MK.II Superbike from a rolling chassis covered in thirty years of dust and the rest of it packed away in ten or so large boxes to what it looks like now!!!! 

 

It was well worth it in my book!!!!


 

Wookie, I would never ignore an email from you. I might have missed it. Do you have my correct email address?
