New Guy from Massachusetts, 1978 KZ650B

Hi All! Just picked up (free) this 1978 KZ650B from the next town over, where it had been sitting for 25+ years. Titled, 2100 original miles. Will need a seat 53001-1194, tires, few other things . Cleaning it up now,, all fluids done, all nests removed, going through the carbs. The tank was clean, all electrical good. If anyone knows where I can get a seat let me know!

Thanks,
Mike

Any chance you want to sell that luggage rack and case?

Nice score. Are those power outlets hanging under the left side of the handle bar?

Welcome Mike.

Nice find.
Keep an eye on ebay for a seat.
And check out the items for sale here and other vintage boards.

Those switches were to turn the headlights on and off. I guess he didn't like having them on all the time. They're gone now! Thanks!
