Keep in mind side covers for 76 kz900 are a one year only item changed for 77 kz. I attached a photo of correct 76 covers. note: there is no tab on bottom of the right cover

You said it was a Z1F frame number. How low was the number? By the way you got a good deal. The KZ900's go up every day.

Russ...
Frame # Z1F105036
Engine #Z1E118257
here is recent pic...replace rear mud chrome fender , tail piece and fix the tail light harness.
once i got very thing i need...ill then take it apart for a semi restoration.
By the way....the color under the tank and tail piece shows that this bike came with the Brown color.
Also found that it already has the electronic ignition and rec/reg combo. good deal

Alright...I'm at this point...bike in peices and started cleaning .








And this last pic....I found a roll of wire under the tail piece and got me thinking last owner probably had some kind of lighting on the bike.
