Hahaha, im with that man!

welcome, you got yerself a long list, better get started asap.

it will never happen, she will never get elected, especially in 2012



so being its a 74' 900...would that make it a Z1? how do i tell what the vin and engine numbers mean?

If its a 74, it would be a Z1A. You can go to, www.zedder.com/Info/74%20Z1-A%20900.htm This should get ya going in the right direction. I was looking at zedder.com, and it is for sure a 74 z1 900. Thats weird someone would go through all the trouble of swapping over all the 1976 ltd 900 parts.........accident maby? Either way nice score man.

The forks look to be Z1 and the rear tail light possibly the motor and you say the frame. Everything else looks to be different like the gauges, swingarm, boby work including the duckfin. Either way it is something that will be nice once you tweek it the way you want

Definitely looks like the PO was going for the '76 Ltd look, just with different parts. Brake disks and calibers, rear master cylinder are from later models. Seat, instrument panel, wheels, color (sort of), and side emblems do look like they're from a '76 model.

I think she'll look good once she's cleaned up. I'm obviously partial to the Ltd look

Well I,ve gotta say.....please keep politics out of this forum. We're here to discuss bikes.

I'm sorry that you have a problem with people discussing politics in a thread titled "strong republician's first bike". And infact that this just happens to be a thread about MY introduction, not just strictly about bikes.

Jon,
Welcome aboard, glad to have you here and look forward to seeing your bike progress. Ed

you d be hard pressed to find a forum for cars or bikes where they dont limit or downright ban religious or political posts.....things just get way out of hand too quickly and become a huge headache for moderators....stick to your kz......just a little help....

Couldn't agree more. I'm a republican too put I don't bring it up on here. If I wanna talk politics I'll find a political forum. That way I can discuss policies with people who are possibly educated and at least passionate about politics. If I bring them up here I'll get one of 3 reactions, a) the person will get pissed and write something mean back making us both look like an ass b) be totally annoyed by it and won't write anything but remember I'm an imbecile for talking politics in a motorcycle forum, or c) agree with me but know better then to write something that will get them in trouble with people who are very wise in the world of old zeds.

You haven't done anything wrong and just like everyone else here I welcome you and would like to say you have a great bike, I hope you get all the things done to it that you want too.

Welcome to KZR rustedcutlery.
You will find lots of info on your bike here. Good luck with it.

The KZkats emerge from their comfortable and safe tunnels to drink in the sunshine and socialize. The day is great and the time goes by. Soon one of the KZkats brings up politics and the grand old debate begins. It’s temper rises until. Suddenly, a shadow races across the land. It’s speed is both frightening and mesmerizing. Suddenly the KZkats scatter and dive into the comfy holes as Tony the raptor/moderator rises again on the late day thermals. Still hungry but happy that peace has filled the land again. Today the KZkats will not war. It will end a good day after all. :laugh:

Yeah... it was a close call.... :woohoo:
