Thanks all.... 
It will be awhile but that's ok, have all winter long to set her up again...
1197cc displacement 9:1 (preferably for AZ heat) or no more then 10:25:1.
Of course New sleeves + bore/hone using the 903cc cylinder block.
New welded 903cc crank w/new bearings.... Thanks Plumi!
Camshafts (.365) look untouched so hopefully good there.
Timing components (top/side gears) look good.
Have to measure the stretch on the chain but seems ok at this point.
I will verify...
Once I get the cases split I'll be better to to state what the lower end components, drive train, tranny, clutch, shift drums/forks, gears etc... look like but either case, KZ1000 mix & match the best of the two for the most part. Existing clutch springs & plates fairly new so swap out to other clutch assembly if required. Thorough cleaning most definitely.
CR29's, clean especially #4... :pinch:
And the Pièce de résistance... KZ1000 head off to Larry....
Basically with this build, up size to GPZ valves, single stage port for the CR's...
Uhm Honey, I need more $$$.... :pinch: :laugh:

OMR... ouch that's really got to hurt, but now the project just gets better, cause you get to do all the little things you didn't get to do the first time around.
I have a bunch of extra parts, so if you need something e-mail me, if I have it, it's yours.
