And you guys are spot on. Upon further examination, the side panel does say kz. It's a darker green with lighter green pinstripe. Unfortunately, it has this horrid two up seat with a built in sissy bar (it looks like one of those rocking chairs kids use to play video games. The pipes were tossed and replaced with 4 into 2, but the two are just turnouts before the back wheel. I'd still like to make it my own though!
Those original pipes grab a pretty penny, don't they?

i have three 1976 kz 900's and love all the (kawi)big fours.
although i do hate saddle seats with built in sissybars as much as the next green blooded kawi fan :laugh: .
