Only negatives are cosmetic really
Frame was never painted or powdercoated. Still structurally sound but would look better with fresh paint or powdercoating.
front forks need to be polished. Looks like the original clear coat on them is yellowing. Could easily be re-polished and shot with a clear.

Motor got a wiseco 1075 big bore kit, and yes you are correct those are BS34 carbs. I found the wiredgeorge invoice in my email. The bike is stored in California at the moment, so I don't have it to look at. I am going through receipts and emails and updating the original post as I go.

Nice bike.
You're right, I do, but I knew a long time ago that I probably wouldn't see all of the money I put into it. I enjoyed building it, and had a lot of friends come together for various pieces (paint, seat, etc) . There's a big backstory about how I ended up with it and why I finished it, but none of that is of any interest to anyone here. I'm just trying to figure out what a ball park fair price would be.

Your bike looks good! I'd start with at least $5000 and go from there!
This is the bike I'm refering to but it's turbo now or should I say, almost.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
