I got in a 13 hour day and it was a rush to pick the bike up.

I wanted to take it to the car wash and wash the dust off.

Here is a pic of a sissy bar i have never seen.

I will try and get the bike pics tomorrow. Roy

I hate all you East Coasters for postings like this... :P
I actually envy you guys....

Reasoning, KZ's are worth an eye, leg, liver or heart these days in the West... And they're getting harder to find any longer... Never mind running bikes, even POS are going for a grand.

Example, just north of Phoenix a guy has a rolling chassis with lower engine, no cylinder/head & cams/carbs etc... Wants $300....

I'm waiting to see how long it stays in Craigs-list than jip him down to at least $200, preferably $100...

Running bikes, man don't even go there out here for they act like these old girls are gold or diamonds...

I hear ya OMR.
Up here in big sky country especially bozeman . However ,trying to find an old KZ here is like the needle in the haystack thing. Not much to be had. Now if you like Harleys. No problems there. Tons of them.

Nice find Roy. The last time I found another bike it was a GS1100G. I know, I know its not a KZ but it is starting to resemble one. I found out my KZ650 backrest (sissybar) with the big Kaw eagle on it, fits perfect, I also have factory KZ900 handle bars on it and a KZ rectifier/regulator installed. Now what else can I dig out of the garage that will give it some more KZ attitude. I guess no matter what its still a GS so I will not try to kid myself anymore. Anyways good score Roy.

When i picked the bike up the owners dad told me his first bike was a KZ 900.

I am working 14 hour days and barley had time to get it to the car wash.

I took the carbs to the field and tore them down while i was waiting on the applicator driver. They were clean. Will have to rejet.

I paid $400.00 Roy
