long time lurker

just bought my beast and thought i should post pics and introduce myself.

i picked this up as my first bike yesterday and figured i should share. just needs new tires, battery, and a rebuild on the front brake. not sure if m.c. or calipers. figured $1000 was a good deal for a 76 kz900.

it came with a windjammer V and a set of krauser saddlebags.

sorry if i post pics wrong. im still figuring out this forum.

i never see them. i thought the 4 into 1's were stock until i talked to the owner about it.

im thinking of pulling the fairing and the bag mounts and putting them in storage. these bikes look sexy stock.

Congrats, it doesn't look like you hurt your self on this one. Most parts can still be found too. And Yeah, take care of the pipes. I like 4 into 4 better myself.

$1000? Heck, just the stock exhaust system would cost that much on eBay! Nice bike! Ed

bought it from the original owner. this bike was the love of his life. after kids, and starting a business he never had time to work on it. he kicked it over a couple times a month but other than that it has sat untouched for 10 years.
