KZ1000 rider from the Netherlands
11 May 2013 08:49
Hi all,
I'm Dennis from the Netherlands and a proud owner of a KZ1000 Police. I bought this motorcycle in 2008 and it was in need of some serious TLC. It once was in service with the LAPD.
I finished the restoration last year. I'm still tweaking it here and there
The restoration was a slow one, because I did everything myself with no technical background and a Clymer manual for help on the more difficult issues. I've dedicated a large part of my website to the restoration of my Kawasaki.
I hope to spend many reading hours on this forum and looking forward to any comments/questions.
Thanks

Beatiful job and welcome to KZR forum from Canada. I have learned quite a bit of knowlege here from the members and I am sure you will too,enjoy.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
