Hello from Minnesota
15 Apr 2012 12:34
Hi all,
I am an avid rider and stumbled upon an all original 1976 KZ900-A4 from teh original owner, stored in a garage all of its life. It was last driven about 13 years ago. Comes with numerous extra parts, manuals, and a log of everything the bike has gone through. I got it for $350.00 bucks. He also had a 1980 MKII KZ1000 which my buddy bought. I am planning on a full "Sanctuary" Type build, so I will be willing to sell of some of the components, so if you need anything, let me know. I also have the original 4 into 4 exhaust that was hanging in the rafters for who knows how long.
I hope to talk with all of you soon.
Cory

Hey thanks for the welcome. The Four into Four are in excellent shape since they were replaced not long after he bought the bike. They have a couple of little blemishs, but I am cleaning them up and giving them a little polish. I also was planning on touching up the paint in the end caps. I will post pics once they are cleaned. If anyone is interested, let me know. Trying to fund some suspension I want off of Ebay....

Welcome Cory, I'm in MN also. If your in the Minneapolis area you should go to Dulono's Pizza in Minneapolis on Lake Street and Lyndale on the first Thursday of the summer months, it's a BIG motorcycle get together of any and all types of bikes. It starts at about 4:00 in the afternoon and runs till about 9:00PM. Pizza's not bad either.

I am usually there with my riding buddy. Was just there at the april one as I just finished my SV1000N in time. I am either on that, or my ZRX1100.

Yeah I know. Hopefully with what I can sell, I can afford this project to retrofit the suspension and brakes I really want!

Yeah my wife and I live in Bloomington, but we come up to Duluth and Two Harbors quite a bit for camping. My buddy and I take day rides up there as well.
