1983 KZ750 Project. 3yrs but nearing the end! With pics this time.

Rear

Right side

front

this thing has dual front drum brakes and check out how the carbs are mounted. Crazy? This things going to be fun!

Here are the other projects I have hanging around. The middle one is a very nice 76 KZ750 twin with two into one pipe. Cool bike.

Second try?

Well, I've hit another snag. I thought I fixed the tank only to find Gas leaking through both sides (I'm so happy I did not paint it before I found this). I was going to try to fix it again but I have all ready put so much time into this one only to fail that I think I'm going to cut my losses and try to find another one. So if any of you have, or know where to find a tank for a 1983 KZ750L3 I would very much appreciate it. I also can use a tank from a 82 GPZ750 or an 84 KZ700. Thank you.

OK, I most probably miss read or missed it but how did you come but this old beauty....

The name Benelli brings back memories long lost and forgotten, my older brothers friend had a Benelli....

NICE Bike! Dare I ask how you found it? I noticed the Illinois plate, Im in Lisle.

Is there anything else left in that barn?

I found it on Craigslist. My buddy called a guy about a Yamaha enduro and at the same time the Benelli popped up online. It turned out that the guy he had on the phone owned both bikes and he pulled the ad after I spoke with him and told him I wanted it. I gave him the Full asking price of $300 and he delivered it to my house.
I LOVE CRAIGSLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool! There is a nice Benelli on EBay right now.

Item # 270336998458 it is a six cylinder 750

That 'Joy of Six' is WAY cool!! I ee a 6 to 1 pipe but the pic that shows what appears to be stock exhaust with three pipes shooting rearward on each side is SaaaaaWheat!!!
