79 kz1000 road racer

Oh my goodness Tri, those pictures are amazing. I don't know where you find this stuff but keep 'em coming!

I really really really need to find someone that can mod my seat to look like those - pmc was making them but they are no longer available

Those are some beutiful bikes. Looks like we got some MKII buffs here. Does anyone know how many of these bike were produced for the US market?

----sorry i didnt update this for a while, my computer died.

laguna, that first kz you posted is beautiful i have seen it once before on line bot this was not one of the listed pictures. where did you see it?

my bike is coming along just having issues with the oil right now(as my post in the ENGINE section shows. it handles excellent. more pictures/updates soon.

SCHWING indeed!!!! OmG!! Not gonna lie, this red KZ has me a little hot and bothered!!! Damn! :woohoo:

Both the red and the black/gold bike's are beautifully crafted machines. They don't happen to belong to KZR members, do they Tri?

2 very nice MKll's indeed -believe the Black/Gold was a stock paint scheme for the European 80 MKll and the red is a custom utilizing the same idea.

As far as MKll's,from Zedder.com : 4325 A3's for Canada and Europe and 4012 A3A's for the USA. 80 MKll's shows 4002 only.

This my A3,loved MKll's since the first day I saw one.

wow, i feel really dumb right now.

figured the whole oil issue i was having like 2 monthes ago. engine revving to high. didnt have any tach or speedo to figure it out. so basically i hadn't ridden my bike in nearly year when i first took it out after modifying the chasis and didnt realise that the gear ratio on the rear wheel was way way too high for a 17" wheel, and thus was making the engine rev ridiculously( dont know how high). so i switched up about 3 front sprocket sizes and now im good

doesnt blow oil everywhere but still puts a tiny bit of oil out the breather. not getting on the tire luckily (burns on exhaust) haha. think i will do the rings soon since i never have. but it passed emissions perfect and still runs great for now. and since the oil issue is fixed i have been able to really take the new chassis hard into the turns and it handles great.

i need a smoke after seeing this one!

i get my pics the simple way i think...google images and search different lingo..like MK2...or MKII...or keker pipe...or KERKER header...ect.....a little word play will give the search a new idea...


the black and gold is my fav

and yes those seats are nice

any news on the project....

Dude where have you been? :dry: I've driven by your house and haven't seen your car there and your phone's been disconnected. You've got to see my new ride!
