New to site - just saying hi

I am restoring an imported 1980 KZ 750LTD model H - which I bough cheap 13 or 14 months ago -

I owned a 83 750Ltd back in early 90's but this was a twin - sad as I should never have got rid, but I upgraded to a 1100 Moto Guzzi as we went touring in those days - too old now!

Was going to turn this into a rat bike, but on working on the bike I find it is in such good condition that I am in process of working though the bike and have it booked in for full paint and mechanical check in October.

I have tracked down a Kawasaki sales brochure from the day - via a business accociate who actual sold these bikes for Kawasaki -

I have some questions, but will post them in the appropriate places -

Good looking ride! I had the exact same bike, stretched it 4", GPZ 750 cams and pistons, ported head, 29 smooths and Nitrous. solenoids in air box and little 1 lb. bottle under back section of seat, hit that setup for almost a yr before someone found it. :evil: :evil: :evil:
