KZ1000 A-4 restore

Hi thanks. By any chance do you know how many were sold in th US I'm not finding a lot of info on the A-4 . Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.

zedder.com/Info/80%20KZ1000-A4%20MKII.htm

Your the best wow thanks

if you want to find more info on your bike search google kawasaki mk11

Will do thanks Pete i appreciate it I was looking for A4 because I had read that the 1979 was the mkll and the 80 is the a-4 even though it has the mkll engine some odd debate I didn't quite understand anyway will do thank you very much for your help.

1979 was the only year that said MKII on the side covers. The 1980 came out it was referred to mostly as the "standard" even though it was mostly the same as the 1979 MKII. The 80 sold a lot less than the 79 model, but the 79 is more valuable to most. The MKII was a beauty for sure either year. I've had my 79 for 33yrs now.

Thanks Pete I live about 20 miles from sturgiis and I have 3 businesses little bizzy and of course the wife's projects 72 super beetle with 43,000 org miles garage kept hate that thing any way I will proble get to pull this in mid summer but ground up .... I'm in love I can see the beauty and it has to be mine ba hahaha I can imagine if you had the 79 you would probably die with it lol I have found a lot of info under Mkll thanks for that.

You got junk on your hands.....pm your address and I will save you you a lot grief...lol
Best find yet....very collectable and high price.

Ron is correct, 79 Mark II. The 1980 was just an A-4.
I remember now Kawasaki selling Black painted one's for $1,999 brand new.
No one liked the squared off style, like the Z1R's no one wanted them. Dealers had 2&3 year old new stock.

GREAT find,, the chain drive MKII's are as desirable as the 78-80 Z1R's, not many of either of those models were sold, I guess because people didn't like the squarish fuel tanks, I know I hated them back in the day, but I wish I had one now,
Pete

I have a new project and will need help when I inevitably get lost so here it is. A friend of mine gave me a 1980 a4 that he has stored since 1990 it has 1900 org miles and is complete an d turns over. I want to restore it back to original it's black with gold pin stripes. I will post pictures soon but if anyone has advise on the proper way to proceed I would greatly appreciate it thank you.

you have good friends

Very nic acquisition.

Is it just me or do pipes look like uneven lengths in the pics showing the license plate??? Just an observation.

BEAUTIFUL bike though.
