Hello from Alaska, I have a 1975 Z1B 900

This is my first post here and I live in Wasilla Alaska.
I am a concrete batch plant supervisor and a heavy equipment mechanic, I own a very recently purchased 2009 Yamaha Star 1300 Tourer, a completely restored and modernized 1980 Honda CX 500, modernized with LED and HID lamps, new Spitfire tires and electric fan cooling.

And currently I have a 1975 Z1B 900 that another employee was given,the guy has no mechanical skills whatsoever and he thinks he is going to get thousands of dollars for it as it sits, I don't quite see that with the economy right now. Its been left outside and the seat upholstery is shot and the paint is in bad shape, it does run and looks to be mostly intact but looks like crap, the engine is all surface oxidized.The Kirker pipes are all rusted.

I realize its somewhat a collectable and I may start restoring it to something shiny and nice, thats all as I will post other plans or ideas in the proper forums.
