Well as you could imagine from the title im trying to bring a 1000 back from the dead.

here are a few pics to start the build off





This is the platform everything's going on 1978 kz1000 I got pretty cheap.

I soon found out that its missing a fair amount and came across a 1980? kz1000 ltd to snatch parts from



so now the plan is get the ltd running then swap the motor, chopped up wiring, wheels to the 78

Put a ball bearing behind the large nut on the top triple tree to get the rotor off.

The big bolt will screw into the rotor. Put a bearing on the crank snout behind the bolt and it will pull it off. Those Japs are pretty smart engineers.

did u try the big bolt in the center of the top triple tree?
i dont think the motors will swap without frame mods.
The later 82 is the better pick. stronger frame, better motor, bigger valves, and ports.B)

78's had kz motors. It must have been swapped out already. i know the tree bolt fits the kz rotor, but u have a j, so i don't know what size it is. just try a few dif bolts from around the bike. as bob says, maybe the axle?
