Wow! Cool! My style of a KZ Kawi. motorcycle! Did you find this on the net? Any more pictures of this thing??
That tail piece is 1976-1980. KZ 900 / KZ1000
Plentiful on ebay.
Actually, that might be 73-75 Z1? It looks to be a little more rounded at the back. Early Z1 had a rounder back tip to match it's rounded tail light
Mine has 1" of dust on it from sitting 10 yrs. LOL!

I ended up finding that picture off the net, I totally agree with how that bike looks! I did end up finding tons of them I was looking under fenders Instead of tail pieces, makes a big difference. Thanks for all of your replies!
Would a tail piece from a 650 kaw or so forth fit on my 1000? Figure they would have a few similarities

My bike in current state 1000M
