I am picking up a turbo KZ1000 that I won on e-bay the other day---I am thinking about putting a drop seat rigid tail section on it. Would love to see some rigid frame KZ pics---or opinions---thanks

Here's one.....and yes, it does try to crawl out from under you on boost. I realized that while sitting on it with the bike straight up!

1980 LTD (changed over the years), 1979 LTD (being rebuilt), 1977 KZ turbo and various KZ's in various states of build. KLX110

Yep! But if you're like me, after seeing you lived through it, it will take a while to wipe the smile off your face!
