Hello KZR crew-
...not really a newb, but new to a 1977 KZ1000A1. It's all there, just has a few things to do. ---battery, rear master, carbs leak, It hasn't been run in 14 years. It's a california bike so no rust, Tank is clean, no varnish or rust.

Kerker 4 into 1,

who makes a small seat? I hate the couch on it.

Thanks...

Welcome. The seat on it looks like a KZ1000-LTD seat, so it may be worth some money if it's in good condition. As far as a replacement it depends on the style you're trying to find. Corbin makes good seats. Below is a link to a Corbin KZ1000 seat that looks similar to stock, but they make other styles too. Ed

I bought one of these. Felt like riding on a board.

Bought one like yours, now my butt doesn't hurt after a long ride.
