This is Todd 55's 1978 KZ 400 B1. The owner refers to it as his "little twisty eater", and judging by its looks, that couldn't be more true. Featuring a reshaped seat with ZRX1100 cover, MAC 2-1 exhaust, superbike bars, carbon look screen, and probably many other mods I'm unable to identify.

This is oldcoldankles's 1983 KZ 550 M1. This bike had been in storage for 8 years until it was rescued by the original owner from an advancing forest fire in 2003. Except for a K&N drop in air filter, windshield, and inline fuel filter, it's all original right down to the vacuum petcock, keys, grips, toolkit and Luminous Midnight Red paint! It now has 21,000 miles on it. It's economical, very reliable, and just plain fun to ride! You can see a better picture and some member comments in the gallery.

This is ambergrismooon's 1976 KZ 900 B1. 'Gris' Big Red is an LTD. And we all know the LTDs are the best Kaw had to offer. Ever. This LTD is "mildly built" with a 1047 Weisco Kit, new guides, clean carbs and the original airbox. She has new stainless brake lines coated in red to match the custom fire engine red paint. She sports a pair of sexy twisted railroad spike highway pegs. And yellow hand painted Kwaka emblems. 'Gris did the pinstripping. It's gold vinyl anchored by a gold heart on one side of the tank and a shooting star on the other. "She has new Bridgestones, progressive front suspension, new bearings back and front, new steering head bearings..." says 'Gris. Not bad considering he started with "Pits, rust, oxidation, pools of dried paint, drips, chips, runs and rot…" For the full story read Big Red's Re-birth in the articles section!
