I was keeping an eye on that on craigslist for a while now. The guy started out asking for $5000 for that bike. I'm not even kidding about that. He went from $5K to $2500 to $1K to $650 then $500. I'd say at $200 you got it for about what it was really worth.

Kinda looks like this one: www.sff.net/people/sanders/kz.html

Apparently Kawasaki did offer a dresser KZ400. You learn something new every day.

I think your best bet for the luggage would be to check eBay and CL. You may be able to find them new, but would probably cost a small fortune compared to a used set.

If you have good spark, you're sure it is getting air/fuel, and good compression, I would check ignition timing to see if it is off. Others may have some better suggestions once you check that :)
