bought my first KZ

so i just bought a 78 KZ1000 off of ebay yesterday. i will be picking it up next Friday after my finals are over. i plan to go cafe racer with it so it already has a good start in that direction. it has 18k on it.

sweet always great to have additions to the family and of course you know we demand more pics when you get it.

my plans are
1)clubman bars. not sure what size fits yet.
2)redo the seat to flow into the rear fender
3) black header wrap
4) gloss black checkered racing stripe down the side and on my flat black helmet.
5) paint rims gloss black.
6) possibly remove front fender.
i'm sure more will come up. i'm excited this will be a fun project

you wont regret it.although kz's are addictive.

Congrats on your first of many.... I'm in the columbus area as well, if ya need a hand or any help be sure to holler..

sweet glad to here. i'll let every one know when i get it back here.

good start to what sounds like a great project, keep us posted woth lots of pics!!

i already ordered club mans and i don't even have the bike yet! i'm using this down time to read through old post for modification ideas. it looks like i will be buying a sport bike rear set off of ebay soon to mount those.

good luck. dont forget to post some more pics as u get into the project.

rode it for the first time today. wow i love this bike. i have clubmans for it and i went to switch them then realized that the bike must of originally had the wires in the original bars, b/c the strait bar has a notch taken out of it for the wires to go back in to. so i sanded the straight bar to remove the surface rust that was on it and hit it with a little metal polish till i can modify the clubmans to work. will take some pictures soon but it's supposed to rain till monday
