I bought a bike today. Here is a picture of a part of the bike that will identify the bike for those that know this bike. No prize just pride in knowing your stuff. Roy

Ok ill go with the 76 kz900 ltd when they started to switch over to mag rims, a rear disk brake instead of drum and chrome rear chain guard instead of the plastic one. Is that right?

Thanks for the help on the parts. That takes a load off my mind knowing I don't have to hunt parts down. What part of New York are you in? Roy

LTD's where ahead of their time. "B" models came out of the factory with disc brakes and Mags in 1976
While the A 4's had drum rear brake and single disc.
LTD's had chrome lower guage buckets and different blinkers, step seat, different grab rail, and the first pull back handle bars.

Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.
