It needs a few small things like rear brakes, turn signals, rear tire and a speedometer to be on the road. It will surely be a great ride for tooling around town. The paint job will be completely changed.
I will have lots of questions concerning compatibility of parts, etc and other mods.

Lots of good info on kawasaki.com, including parts diagrams, part names, part numbers, models sharing same part, availability, etc. Here's a link for help with navigating the site and finding information.

I am already befuddled about replacing rear tire, but I will try to find the appropriate forum to post.
Looking forward to the repairs, mods and RIDES!

Z1E has a search by model and it lista the vin for A2 and A2A not sure of the differences
there were alot of emission changes around 78 thinking maybe A2A is a california model but I have no basis for that I am sure one of the more versed KZ owners can enlighten us mine is an A2A according to Z1E

Also an unusual combination of Japanese bike and a military theme. One thing's for sure. There's not another one just like it anywhere.
Lots more pictures in my build thread.
