Kz 1300-6 cyl.

I ran across a guy today who has most of 3 1300s 1 complete bike and probably enuf parts to piece together another one.one good title to go with them. just wondering if there is any interest in or market for these old bikes/parts. he wants $500.oo for the whole mess.

He may pipe in but KZCSI is the local 1300 member here. He has a beautiful one. But $500 for all the above sounds pretty good to me? Here is KZCSI's 1300...

I'm kinda partial to Kaw Sixes. Where are they?

KZCSI

they are located in N.W. Arkansas i am thinking about buying them and building one and seling off everything else to finance my 79 B-3 project

For $500.00 you could easily sell off the parts for more, even after you combine the parts and title to make one good bike. Do any of them have the square headlight intact and in good condition?

76 LTD:

Nice find (I wouldn't hesitate to get them)...but you should be aware that you won't get extraordinarily wealthy by selling KZ1300's. For some strange reason, there isn't a tremendous interest (=resale value) in this model. So, if you have non-runners, you might have to invest some, thus cutting into the profit margin.

One bike was running when parked the other 2 are in various stages of disassembly the running bike has set till the engine is stuck but they are all inside.i need to drag them home and see whats good and what isnt and go from there i guess.

dog-gone-it KZCSI -- could understand suffering a stroke, being senile or just having a senior moment -- but as previously and vigorously contended -- your bike looks a thousand times better with the round headlight -- so just remember, you can lead a horse to water . . . :lol:

it does look alot better with the round headlight.

Sounds like a good deal. If you want to do some swapping I have an 80 with some good stuff. All dissassembled. And I should be able to get the title if you want to build two. I can't decide whether to drop the bucks on it or start ebaying the parts.

I also like the round lights. Wish I could get to Oregon to ride and see your 1300 in person.

I will probably tinker with them till i get tired of them then sell them or trade for 900-1000 stuff.

Tu Chey Patton,

Not going to let me forget that one are you?

I agree with you the Round head lite is better and Ma Kaw erred just like Ford did with the Edsel but, just the same, in some courts, Rectangular = 1300.

Regarding the horse to water comment. I offered my solution and it was ignored in favor of repair products that cost ten times my solution. I just tested the Permatex plastic weld and agree that it bonds to ABS just fine. The only problem is that it costs $5.99 for less than an ounce. I can buy ABS cement for $0.25 per ounce.

Just the same, Don't cut me no slack, other wise I wouldn't know I was loved!:woohoo:
