Howdy from Arkansas

I have a 1980 KZ1000 A4 I've had for almost 20 years in storage. Getting ready to restore it finally.
I think it may be a MKII, but it doesn't have the emblem on the side cover. ?
29mm Mikuni smoothbores are getting cleaned up first.
Last time I rode it was 1993. Shame on me.....

The river valley is humid as hell for sure!

The twisty roads in the hills make it all better tho...
