79 KZ750 Barn find on ebay

I spotted this 79 KZ750 for sale on ebay. I know there are some 750 twin lovers here (I'm just not one of them) so I thought I'd bring this to your attention. The bike has 3900 miles on it, comes with a title, has a Windjammer SS, sissy bar, and case guards on it. It looks like it would make a pretty easy resto and the owner isn't out of his mind about what he thinks it's worth. The buy it now price is $400.00.

I would tend to believe the mileage is accurate because with the amount of noise that Vetter fairing would have to make from the vibration, the rider would soon be deaf.:laugh: The ebay item number is 180323359988

That is really a great deal. I bet you could get it running easily. He posted it in the parts section and it is a complete bike. I cant bleive it isnt gone yet...Russ

Wow, are the twins not nearly as desireable or what?

Im in Kansas City MO and thinking about picking this lil guy up.

Just bought it.Have to wait till the weekend to go get it.Should be a nice addition to my Kz650.

Nice job! Make sure you keep us posted along the way. I bet with a little cleaning it looks like new and starts right up...Russ

Doughhhhhhhhhhhhh, you saved me from the dog-house with the wife.

Good luck with the buy, yeah please let us know how she turns out.

Now I feel like I've done my good deed for the day. I'm always glad when one of our own gets a good deal on something because I know another old Kaw has found a good home. You can never be 100% positive until you actually lay your eyes and hands on a bike but I've looked at more than my share of these old relics and that looks like it won't take much to bring it back. You might even think about locating a Vetter bracket for your 650 and just swap it over, it will make a lot less noise installed on a 650 than a 750. Keep us posted once you pick it up and have a chance to evaluate it. I'm of the same mindset as Russ, some brillo pads and a good bath will do wonders for that bike.

JP I would have checked if you were for sure going to buy it but I didn't see your post till I came back to post that I bought it.Ill definitely post uan update after I pick it up.

Looks like you've got a winner there, laidback. After all, there's $400 worth of parts, if nothing else. Hopefully you can make a nice runner out of her for a couple of hun....
plus lotsa elbow grease.

Its all good, don't sweet it.

I really need to sell a bike before getting another anyway, i wasnt kidding about the dog house part.

Where are you out of?

Ok cool.Im in the St.Louis area so its only about 50 miles away from me.

Nice steal! Nice part about the twins is that even if there is something wrong with it they tend to be fairly cheap on parts
