Add to that list rubber brake lines,and possibly the rubber ducting(boots) going to the carbs as ozone and sunlight will crack/harden the.

SS brake lines are the type you install, bleed for air bubbles and forget them.

Oh that is a beauty, so nice to see such a thing. I bet your Uncle would be proud you did all that to drag her home. Ride her, give her a life like she deserves. Museums are for useless stuff, not a Kawasaki!

Very interesting story.Glad to hear that you are riding it.Some may frown on the idea of riding it.I dont. Let the thing live.I hear too many stories about a bike that ends up in a museum or as a piece of art that sits static.We all know that bikes are art.But if their not ridden its like a bird in a cage.Just my opinion

Very cool and sad at the same time. Good luck and keep it clean. Probably the lowest mile example in the world.

Given me another stripe scheme to consider.
KZ750R1 + 1991 ZR750 = KZR750R1
Better to be shot out of a cannon then squeezed through a tube. - HST
