Tri.... scores one for the barn find column 79MK11

That sure looks like a Kerker muffler on a Yosh pipe to me. Too bad that you can't do the rider mod. That guy must be half your size on a bad day. BTW nice score on the CD's as well. Except the boss. JK. That guy wants to be Bob Dylan soo bad. Springsteen puts on a good show. He gives it all up for 3.5 hrs. Not bad for an AARP eligible.

The real prize in that pic is the Kawasaki track pants :laugh:

That's a GOOD Kerker. I have an NOS chrome one in my garage. You lose oil filter access but gain a lot of ground clearance and they look awesome! It even has the big "kerker" name plate like the one pictured. I never cared for the bendy ones they make now.

The black is definitely nice looking - that was a stock color for 1980.

Now about the stand... You're as bad as those shows on TV - you show the stand and then in the next picture the bike's all loaded up. You gloss right over the hard part. How did you get that thing up there! haha :laugh:

"How did you get that thing up there!"...

What, you didn't notice the wood 2" x 6-8" plank? :laugh:

Eddie on the Kaw MKll with 80 bodywork ,last one before the J model.The 80 KZ 1000 was black w/gold trim in the USA only I believe. Luminous Blue & Red in Canada for sure. Another unique feature was the sidecover badges KZ1000 only in US, no MKll below that like elsewhere.

i had a body set brand new in the boxes for black and gold with the big letter kz1000 emblems....

Awesome video! I love watching that old Kaw footage. I just wish they could crank the pitch of the voices up a notch! haha :laugh:

That video shows a beautiful example of the 1980 model - black and no MKII on the side cover.

Lucky bastard! I have been looking for one for over 10 years. I'll give you a grand for it. :laugh:
