Hello from the UK was created by Jai88
Hi all!

New owner of a KZ750!
Had it 2 days and already finding it difficult to find parts. Is there any UK owners on here and recommendations of where to get parts or if there is other models that share the same engine that would return more results?

going to be hardtailing the frame asap.

It’s a 1988, I’m not sure what model it is though. Still figuring out the forum here as I was sure I’d put a picture with my original post

Nice one, your a brave man to even think of going hard tail, i used to ride a hard tail KZ1000 until i bust my coccyx (ass) bone when i hit a pothole at 60mph.

Cheers man, I’m all about the low and slow. 
Although I will probably get a bit of padding for my seat, don’t like the look of the hard metal seats

UK here aswell. Regarding parts, all the usual UK suspects. DK, Fleabay, zpower. Join a few UK based forums also, most members have a stash of parts which you might be able to persuade to part with.

It's a ZN750LTD .
Are you sure it's 1988 as they were an 84 to 85 model.

It may be when it was imported, my "82 1000 Ltd" was advertised as a 91 (when I went to see it I was expecting it to be a "P") UK log books often only show "1st UK registration date"
