1976 Kawasaki KZ900LTD restoration...gone
14 Oct 2010 14:41
Hey Y'all...i haven't been on this site in a long time since i got rid of my Z900..yes i know it's shocking but i'll explain.
I brought the bike in the shop where i was going to have it fixed up perfectly, but over a few weeks, the guy who was going to fix it said it wasn't really worth it to fix it all. If i still wanted it done, I would have been paying 8,000-10,000 in order to get it all running. figured it wasn't worth it, if i wanted to sell it, i would be getting less then half i payed to restore the bike. So the bike is simply gone now. Moving on to get a CBR or something. So if any of you guys are thinking about messaging me to buy parts off of me, think twice. I do NOT have the turbo or any other parts anymore. That is with the shop, i have no more parts of that bike in my possession anymore. Sorry. Maybe later down the road i'll buy another KZ someday...

Not sure the condition or the bike, but to pay someone to do a complete bottom-up resto could possibly run this kind of money.
But who am I fooling, they probably pulled a fast one.
