New KZ750 Twin B3 from Australia

hi
We have just purchased a 1978 KZ750 B3 twin about 2 weeks ago to restore. The bike is a one owner and totally original (except for the exhaust - 2 into 1).

I was wondering if there were any other owners of these particular twins in Australia? I believe there is one in Bendigo - Our bike came from Great Western VIC.

The bike has now been totally dismantled and the frame, swingarm etc is off being powder coated and we seem to be spending most our spare time cleaning parts.

We had the engine compression tested before it was removed and it returned a 150 pressure on both cylinders.

glad to find this site
Susan and Ian

I have an 83' LTD thats getting the Brat treatment in Sydney . Thankfully , I'm a frame builder so it's all no big deal to do any of the work. They aren't that common out here but those of us that have them love them.
