Great to be back, not quite finished my projects, however I came into a pair of 1978 KZ1000 LTD that I could not pass up, one is a project bike, the other a parts bike, might restore both. Here are some pics.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Here are some more pics. My 1981 KZ1000 LTD is finally finished. My daily rider 1980 KZ750 LTD is also now fully finished. And the 1978 KZ1000 is almost finished, need to hook up carbs and rear brake.. and two more KZ1000 LTD to go. I think my next ones will be done faster as I have some experience and I am sure it will be easier than my first ones. Thanks for all the help I received here, could not have done without your help.
