Parts to borrow

Greetings! Hope no one thinks I am nuts for asking but....Its been a long hard winter and I am desperate to ride!! I am looking to borrow following parts for my 1975 Z1-B 900 Bike, parts can be rusty, bent , damaged etc. as long as they will fit the bike and are functional, I will pay shipping cost to me and back to you, figure approx. 7 weeks time needed to get mine refinished. Need: gas Tank, Both fenders, Tail Piece ( Figure I can ride without the side covers for a while! )
If You have any of these parts sitting around I could borrow for 6-7 weeks and are willing, send me a PM.
Thanks

Don't be such a Stu Pidasole :laugh:

Ehem... I dont think "borrow" is the correct term. I believe you mean to say "donate" :laugh:

Good luck.

Actually... you can't. :blush: Side covers are required for a safety, as the electronics must be shielded.

I know, stupid right.

Hi Stu and Tek9:)
Actually heard from a guy yesterday who has a rusty rear fender and front as well as an old KZ tail piece ( Think I can make that work?), yep he has agreed to "donate" them if I pay shipping,to tell ya the truth if I had something one of the forum members needed and I could spare it , I would. So yep I hear ya, but us Kawasaki guys ( especially Z guys!) seem to be willing to help one another, as far as the parts being rusty does not matter to me long as the are functional! ,! I have been riding since 1973, have had a lot of bikes and have never owned a "Trailer Queen". I will ride something rusty long as it goes and stops.:silly:
Still trying to figure out what gas tanks will fit the 75 Z1-B.so I can come up with one even if it needs a liner..do you know? Side covers? Never let that slow me down in the past, I'll figure something out.
Thanks Guys!!

Will likely bolt on, but be a little too long, and its flatter profile won't conform as well to the Z1's round tail light.

Good Fortune!

Thanks Patton
If it will get me thru for a couple months till the painting is done, no problem, if it does not look perfect?
This bother the guy who had a ragged old "Pan" with Suicide clutch and Tank shifter? that was rusty and raggly .
Main thing is gettin into the wind!!
naaawwhh!.
Any insight into what years / models gas tanks will fit?
Thanks Again!!

any teardrop kz 900/1000 will fit..i dont have any of that stuff that is not slotted already for my projects...a cheap kz1000 tank with buy it now and free shipping will be my guess.....

sorry but i'm all donated up for a while....

folks here do send stuff with nothing asked...for sure on that one
