Actually...there is a grain of truth to his rant...while there are many new/aftermarket parts available for Z1/KZ1000/KZ1100 bikes, there is less available for the 750 line. This may be due to few people restoring/rebuilding 750s' but many more are restoring the bigger bikes...boils down to supply and demand.

thanks alot davo but thers not much to take pics of. right now,i have it in pieces in the bsmt and making a list of stuff i need

i emailed Z1 for a wiring harness...no response

also i have question about manuals,i did a search and couldent find what i wantsd.i bought a haynes manual from ebay but i dont like it much very vague,is there anything else thats better,and i'll tell you why.in my in patience to get started i took the bike apart without labeling or bagging anything...i know STUPID,im sure i can put back together but im gonna need pictures and plus i wanna change all the nuts and bolts out cause most of them are rusted...oh yea note to self don't unscrew the drian scew of your forks without letting the air out,it was like ooo ooo ooo running to the drain pan...lol

Z1E probably won't be able to help you with the wiring harness...you will have to become one with the eBay Gods...like the rest of us:) All things for your bike will appear on eBay...you just have to be patient...as for the manual...used Kawasaki Heavy Industry shop manuals appear fairly regularly...(the manual you need is Kawasaki part number 99924-1021-0X [the last two digits are the edition number]) expect to pay between US$15 and $30 depending on bidding frenzy...it is absolutely the best manual for your bike.

EDIT: If memory serves me correctly, the KHI manual for your bike has been posted on-line...someone needs to jump in here and post the link...then you can download it for nothing.
