Is this a KZ or a GPZ?

I found out today that it is missing the carb boots and maybe the airbox.

I talked him into 150.

Title change in AZ is like 4 dollars.

If you need an airbox, I have the one off my 750 E3 sitting in the garage. It SHOULD be the same part (we can check), and I am willing to part with it for a low price if you're interested. I also have the boots that go between the carb and the airbox, and the springs for them too

Thanks! Send me a pm if you would like to discuss this further.

Well I went and picked it up yesterday. It is pretty rough. Has approximately 22k miles, missing both side covers, missing right side mirror and grip, headlight came off while transporting (I think it has been hit my something, small dent in the casing), ugly and I do mean UGLY paint that is just plain ugly , from what I could see at a glance, I think the tank is rusty and was lined with kream or something, missing airbox and carb boots, and battery.

There is probably more wrong with it, I haven't been able to look at it much yet.

I dont even know if it turns over. To put it simple, I got it for 100, and was willing to take a gamble.

The seventh VIN letter is "L".

What is the difference in models? Anything preferable in this model?

Oh, and it is a 83

Make a list of what you're missing/need and send it to me. I will go through what I have laying around the garage and send it to you cheap. As far as the difference, I think the L is almost identical to the E, with the exception of the tank, emission/smog stuff (not on L), and that may be it!

Very interesting. I think I might want to put the fairing on this bike. Would you have one of those lying around?

I don't have any fairing, but I definitely have the airbox and carb-to-airbox boots (with springs) for you, and a used (not in the greatest condition, but functional) right hand mirror. I don't have any extra side covers either. Anything else you might need?

Hmmmm not too sure yet. Maybe a front headlight assembly. Ill see if I can get of work early enough to take a look at it again. Ill definitely make a list for you

Ravenz07,


I love the KZ750L model. The original paint scheme is very unique. In fact, I have a near mint OEM tank in the original black w/orange and red stripes that I am using on my project bike (bought it on eBay for about $25, since it was off a bike not may own, and I was the only bidder). I decided to build the KZ750H cafe/bob/streatfighter bike around the KZ750L tank, since I could never find a KZ750L project bike to put in on. I expect to put up pics of my project bike soon, since I am finally nearing a finish.

I am going to try to attach pictures from various places I collected that show off this model -- hope they work!

Those definitely do help. I decided once I bought the bike, that would be the paint scheme I would go with. My girlfriend said the tank was ugly and she didnt like it, but I shall show her the potential! To be fair to her though, she has a 79 KZ of her own

Let me know if you have side covers or fairing you might want to get rid of

Oh ya. After looking at it, I am pretty sure someone bondoed over the emblem brackets or whatever you might like to call them.

Ugh

bondo comes off with multiple applications of zip strip.
