Name Plate on the battery box?

While cleaning up around my battery box area I noticed a metal badge on the side of the box, it looks as to be put there by Kawasaki back in 1977 when the bike was made. It says 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 LTD was made especially for
Alex Wisniewski, does this name or plate mean anything to anyone? I have pictures on my I phone if I can fiqure out how to get them on the site I will.

These personalized stick-on metal plaques were furnished to each purchaser of a brand new KZ900-B1, along with an official signed letter of documentation addressed to the proud new owner.

I don't know of anyone who stuck it on the fuel tank, and there's not much of anywhere else to put it.
Mine's on the battery tray (right side).

Good Fortune! :)

That's cool. I never bought a new bike in my life :( .
the Alex T. in Syracuse may be the one. And he might have a big wad of cash to have it back for a few more cruises down memory lane.... ;)
