Hi All,
My name is Kelvin and I'm new to Kawasaki. I been living over at the Honda cb1100f forums. I love playing with older bikes, not much of a mechanic but I try. I have a few CB1100f a Suzuki GS1100 and now am a proud owner a 78 Z1r. Before you all get to excited this bike have seen better days. First it was striped for a drag bike, then it sat under a tarp for the last ten years. Bought it off CL's
southjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/1190828337.html
He had it listed as a 76 .
I'm not sure what to do with it, restore or resell.
Have a look and please let me know what you think.

No, right now the motor will not turn over. My concern is what parts are still available.

The easier question would be what's not available. The parts support for that bike is amazing you should be able to find anything you might need for it no problem.

I come from the school of more money then brains and love the process of restoring old bikes so may be it's at least looking into.
