I am doing something similar to my 1980 Kz650, but my bike sat in my uncles barn for the last 5 years so i have the entire bike torn down to frame after i made sure the darn thing still runs.
But i need some help pricing and finding some things such as :
Coils, Carb rebuild kit, assorted gaskets.
Does anyone know where the seat and front fender came from for this project?
How did you fit the battery under the seat hump? Is there a smaller option than the stock with same CCAmps?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

battery i use
www.gotbatteries.com/index.php?m=search&fID=35L118S5u can use that model number to find many places that sell that..
12v6amp means u wont be using the electric start.. kick only.

I would love to see the electronics wired up under that tail, if you get the time to take a pic. NICE!

still riding, who'd guess mid december in SW PA and bike still hasnt been torn apart yet.

almost wanting the weather to turn so i can start tinkering again.

got a helmet cam for mountain biking.. hoping to get some footage this weekend on the kz. assuming this will be the last weekend.. but i said that in mid october.

post some ride videos !!!!!

Where exactly is your batt mounted?

it's a kickstart so i'd assume he cut the battery out of the harness to run off strictly the stator.

been real busy doing nothing.

battery is a small $20 12v 6amp. under the hump of the seat.
so it goes in that box bracket thing right above the rear wheel.

got a little bit silly last night

really sucks pulling the motor by yourself.. last time ill do that.

and why sir does the engine happen to be out of the frame?

Ha, I hear ya on removing it by yourself. Was a pain for a minute or two

My 650 wasn't too bad with the top end off the motor. The 900, on the other hand, what a beast...

this is absolutely amazing. i'm quite impressed.
