‘78 Kz1000 w/RC Turbo Kit
Today 18:00
I’ve been keeping this bike out of the limelight as I’ve had a LOT going on in my garage. Time to fix that.
Little back story: I’ve wanted a turbo 900/1000 for years. I bought pieces/parts of turbo kits so I could assemble my own complete kit but sold off all of it when I needed funds. I saw this bike here in the fall of 2025. I eventually called FastesrZ1, we talked a good while several times, and finally worked out a deal. Only issue…the bike was in NYC and I’m in the Mid-West. I had the bike picked up and payed for by a good friend (another member on here) in Oct 2025. He stored it until my shipper could pick it up in late November. Fast-forward to mid-February when it was finally delivered!
Fast-forward again until last week when I was able to finally get it onto my lift and give it a good once over.
I plan on documenting the rebuild on several forums via pictures as well as on YT with videos once I can get time to edit them appropriately.
On to the pics!
To be cont’d.
Later, Doug
