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.

That looks like a "DNA" kit? Popular with the HD's
I got a 76 twin in the early 90's for free, kept the KZ900 swap parts and then gave the rest away.
Cool! Enjoy it! And Ride Safe!

JD
I went out tonight to my blind and had 6 does come in to shooting range for my crossbow.
But then I spotted a nice 8 point , but it didnt come in tonight close enough for a ethical shot so I held off .
Im determined to lure the 8 into my assured range of 40 yards. But will take a doe by the weekend .
Need 1 more whitetail for the year for my freezer and 1 more for the freezer of the land owner who lets me hunt his property.
But I do want that 8pt

It does sound like dave really gets into the crossbow hunting. Good luck on the 8 pt Dave.
It really does run and ride extremely well. JD. It is a lot of work, but i bought this in 2013, so I have 5 years riding it (~15K miles). I sold off all of my other bikes and only have this one at the moment.
The paint was done in 2015. It still looks good.
iit is on it's 2nd set of tires.
Michelin Commander II tires. I like these meats. :woohoo:
