Welcome to KZr Hightower.

Nice lookin' bike you've got yourself there. B)

Let me be the first to suggest an incredibly good parts supplier:
Z1 Enterprises.com

The owner of Z1 Ent, Jeff Saunders, is also a member of this site. He's pretty much the go-to source for all sorts of parts and accessories for most of us here, his service and prices are great, and he knows these old Kaws (and other old import brands) as if he had designed/assembled them himself! :)

Covina, So Calif!
78 KZ650-B2 = SOLD
84 ZN700 LTD = SOLD
84 ZX750 GPz = SOLD
89 GSX1100F Katana = SLEEPING :-/
20 VN1700 Vulcan Vaquero (the Blue Cowboy)
Looking for my next project KZ

Your giving up already? Fix the leak and love the bike. Where is it leaking from? I'm sure almost everyone on here has had leaky carbs at one time.

Ceade Mile Failte!!! :cheer:

Most any Fuel leak is super-easy to fix.

Is leak from float bowl overflow nipple?

Or another more unusual location? :)


Really nice looking bike, in basically stock condition. IMO she's a keeper. ;)
