I.D. this KZ Tank? Looks like a KZ900? was created by z1kzonly
I have this tank thats been sitting for years. I always thaught it was a big KZ900 or 1000?
I dug it out of a pile of crap I had moved.
And I flip it over and see the gas valve bung is more toward the middle?
And there is this stud thing on the underside.
Then, it looks like a line was molded along the bottom edge?
Has Kawasaki emblems like the KZ900.
But, if any one has any info? I would says Thanks in advance.
Here are a couple of pics.

OK what's the new method of uploading pictures? I have been doing it for years?
I have old Windows XP? I have been finding that is getting outdated?

Never mind!

Thanks agian! Yes I got the help I needed here on this forum.
Which let me list that tank on the Greedbay site. Even got a bid already!
Hey twist 1? I hope you mean the throttle grip B) your twistin!
By the way, I dig that style of that custom, modified twin in your avatar pic.
Very nice work, whoever did it.
Best lookin one I have seen lately. I'm tired of the flat black bobbers I see around my area.

I believe a KZ750 Twin tank:



The purple one on the left is the KZ750 Twin tank (didn't fit on my KZ900), the one on the right is my currently installed KZ900 tank.

Current project 76 KZ900 (This was a Vetter model)
76 KZ900
81 XJ550H SECA (Current Project)
82 XJ550R SECA
Past:
86 FJ1200
74 Z1900
72 CB450

Good photo and great comparison...buying KZ750 tanks instead of KZ900/1000 tanks is a, I suspect, common problem on venues like eBay.
