It has taken a long time to get this far. And have a long way to go. :blink: My Dad bought this bike new, gave it to me after it set for 20+ years. had it running and driveable, but it looked bad. Now its lookin good! :woohoo: Get the head done next week!

Looking Good!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Before you upload them, open them in "PAINT" and see which way they are positioned. If the are turned then right click and click on rotate clockways.

Just make sure the camera is not turned when you take a picture or do the above if you have to turn your camera to get the picture to your liking. Roy

This is the fun part...getting to take the parts, clean them up and paint/powder-coat/chrome them and peice bike back together. Like to watch as the bike finally starts to come together to look like a NEW bike again. Once finished, it feels so good...

I would have to agree. Once the sting of buying all the parts is over the fun of watching the transformation is cool. and it does feel so good. Keep up the hard work. Post the video of the big ass grin on your face when she fires up for the first time, I wish I would have done that when mine fired for the first time in 13 years

Getting closer. Took her out for a slow test yesterday. Not too bad, only problem is a fork seal leak. running good, ran the carbs, she sounds strong but I aint tried to crank on it yet. we will save that for another day. Going to try to get some more pics today if the weather cooperates!
