I've had a hellava good week on Ebay .... what does that have to do with this thread ??? .... well $$$$$ to buy stuff with. Last evening I ordered a new 4 into 1 Vance and Hines chrome exhaust system and some sundry other little items including a cool Kawi sweatshirt for my wife and a t-shirt for me ... I just got done ordering a steering head roller bearing kit and exhaust studs from Z1 .... Awesome !!!! PLUS .... I got rdgrnr paid for the chrome work he's doing for me :woohoo:

Your going to make me come over there and finish that bike for you ??? Hey More snow on Friday

Man this weather just sux !!!!!!! But honestly, as soon as my bearings come in I will need some help. I'll call you Shoe !!!!

Just out of curiousity (I don't own a KZ750) What is the large round hole in the bottom of this tank?

eBay Tank

that would be where the fuel level sending unit goes

Neither my 1980 or 1981 KZ750 LTD tanks have this big hole so I dunno ... probrably a fuel gauge hole .... my LTD's only has a fuel low sensor for the idiot light and not a gauge.

I've pulled apart and checked the forks from the parts bike and from my bike and the forks from my bike are straighter and in much better condition !!! So I'm gonna use the originals. The lower triple clamp from my bike is the part that bent !!!! I'll be using the lower triple clamp from the parts bike along with a new set of roller bearing in the steering stem. Project is coming along nicely ... but I hate waiting for parts !!!!

I have a tank from a 1983 KZ750L which has the same hole. It is for a fuel level guage. The GPZ models had them too. You can find them on eBay. Or, just blank it off.
