serial # on engine cases?

No matter what he has, he found a great deal. Being out there on "The Strip" is something I'd like to give a few hundred tries. Reaction time and just the experience is something I'd like to try.

When I was there in '73, all the "impromptu" drag racing was happening on Cabbage Patch Road. Little store there at the crossroads where everyone met and set up the races and bets. Very entertaining!

i can't find the serial number no the engine cases, wouldn't they be on the top of the engine case? Maybe i'm just used to suzuki's .. thing needs a starter clutch too, the last kz i did one of those on I had to flip it over and take it out threw the oil pan.. hopefully the 1000's aren't like that

Maybe someone ground it off...:S It should be on the top of the cases under the carb area.

Yep it usually on the engine just above the area where the clutch is, big flat spot, you can't miss it. Take a shot of it and post it.

the starter is on top left of engine cases just under carbs look under the shiny cover,the gear is under stator cover.whats it doing?

frame number is kz100b 516766

engine number is kzt00ae79198

any ideas? Maybe a 79? any one know what the point gap is suppose to be?

i just looked up the 79, am I correct in asuming that it didn't have points at the time? why would someone switch back to points?

according to www.zedder.com you have a

Year & Model '79 KZ1000-A3 MKII (Canada)
Engine No. Range KZTOOAE075474 - 081568

and a

Year & Model '79 KZ1000-B3:LTD
Frame No. Range KZTOOB-515537 - 523543

afik,they both would have had ele.ign.no telling why someone would replace ele.with points,could be any # of reasons.smoked the ele.and points were cheaper,robbed it for another bike and put points on to sell or???????????????

Sopotnik's was the name of the Cabbage Patch store iirc. Saw some big $$ races run out there or near by when the cops would come by occasionally...

I go to the Cabbage Patch every year for the coleslaw wrestling during Bike Week. Very entertaining to see chicks frolicking around in 500 pounds of coleslaw



This is dragracing in Daytona now[youtube][/youtube]

Coleslaw wrestling at the Cabbage Patch. It is on a cabbage farm outback from the bar.
