That's a nice bike, especially for Spain.

I did the Jerez MotoGP race a few times and never saw bikes being absolutley pounded that badly. It's one of the few times in my life that I felt sorry for a motorcycle.

Nice looking LTD Kofla!! I have an LTD 78 identical to that down in the outbuilding. Yours looks All original except the rear Mulholland shocks! Did You just "find" that one?

No, this picture was taken the day I purchased the bike back in 2019. I never liked the LTD look, which is why decided to change the fuel tank and the rear rim to a 18".

What ever you do, and if they are in good shape, save the exhausts. Those old Jardines are valuable.

Thanks Michael. My first purchase was a used Kerker in excellent condition. But I plan on keeping the original exhausts, they still are in great shape.

Greetings from Spain! I just bought a 1978 KZ 1000 LTD.

I hope to spend some time with you all and that you'll share your experiences, since there's no information or spare parts available here in Spain.

Welcome from Canada Bird_XX.
