Positive Identification

I am looking for a positive identification on my new bike. Please help if you are able! Thanks.

Chuck Corwin

1976 kawasaki ltd 900...my 2 cents

Thanks

Well Chuck...you might get a more definite response if you posted the frame and motor VIN (frame VIN is located on the headstock while the motor VIN is located next to the 'add oil' area. The reason I suggest that is that many body parts of older Kawasaki's are somewhat interchangeable and alter the appearance.

Thank you. Here is the VIN KZ9008504826. I will look for the other one this afternoon. Thank you.

You might want to double check the VIN number what I think it is would read KZ900B-504826. That would make it a KZ900 LTD, which is a pretty desireable bike to own. One other thing to check would be the rear master cylinder which should be visable mounted to the frame behind the rt side cover.

Looks like you scored a pretty nice bike, get rid of that hideous fairing, do some cleanup and you should have a really nice ride. Oh and welcome to the forum.

Sorry if that sounded rude, but damn that thing looks like someone decided to adapt the heat houser from a lawn tractor to fit his motorcycle. Since Chuck just bought this bike I'm assuming this was the handiwork of the PO and not his own.

1976 Kawasaki KZ900-B1 LTD. Serial number range:
KZ900B-500011 thru KZ900B-505514.
Nice find.
Attached photos of 1980 I just purchased.

good looking mk11 you have found your self.

Greyghost, That's a great looking bike!

650ed, thanks I have not picked it up yet, waiting on title transfer. Some minor service work...hasn't been on the road since 2003. I think I will really enjoy it.
