1978 KZ1000 A2A restoration video & pics

I haven't been on this site in a few years since I restored my KZ1000 1978 but I thought I would let everyone know that I put a few videos on you tube of the restoration process of my bike.




Just search "Motor Oil & Beer" on YouTube.
thank you

Nice KZ! I prefer the stock seat because its lines flow with the tank and tail. Your seat is probably more comfortable.

Are there videos of your KZ there? I saw a bunch of Norton stuff something about splitting cases nothing about KZ's and then got distracted by mudbog videos that your stuff linked to but nothing KZ....

There is a couple videos there at that site.
Here are some links:

Here is another one, basically all the same with different pictures.

Carbs out of sync. :whistle:

Two questions for you if you still remember.... What kind of hand controls are you using, specifically that front master cylinder and brake and also the foot pegs?

I have carb balancers, those carbs are bang on.

The front brake master cylinder is from EBAY. Just a cheap aftermarket one. Master cylinders are all pretty much the same. There is basically 2 types one for dual front brakes and one for single disc. The piston bore is either 10mm or 12 I believe, can't remember exactly. Almost all the banjo bolts are the same 8mm. It's an easy fit. I tried to rebuild the original one but is was just too worn out. The pegs are stock.
