Why did you get a seat with the strap on it?

Now I am just waiting on the 4-4 exhaust from Z1 the carbs from wired George, and the gauges from Z-Resto.

Good progress for sure! Nice build!

The 4 to 4 is pricey isn't it? Let us know how much it weighs if possible.

You have done a great job, now enjoy your bike.

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.

Man, that is a gem! This is what this site is all about. When I see what the bike started from and the magnificent transformation you brought it to along with the nostalgia, it warms my heart. Sorry, don't mean to get emotional on you, LOL. Can't wait to see a few photos of it outside, once the carbs on and it is completed. Get some nice photos with a nice backdrop. All lot people here drool for that kind of stuff, myself included.
