Nice job Greg! I know what it takes of your time and money but it looks like well spent on both fronts. Hats off to you for keeping another one alive and well.

Yes I can see it now, beautiful bike and thank you for the fix.
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.

Im very pleased the problem is apparently fixed :)
So what Im hearing is that a number of members couldn't enjoy the BOTM Fader presentation , and that is a shame :blush:
All we can do is ask that in the future if a member cant enjoy any part of the site that the member immediately report the problem to the Administration team. This would have been dealt with as soon as we became aware of it. Since this did not effect all members we had no idea of the Fader issue . We as a team are trying very hard to keep KZR a top notch , fun , reliable, and technical mecca of all things Z1 and KZ

Without the fader I (and I'm sure the others also) only saw this





and thought you guys were aware and were working on. It was only yesterday it became clear that missing fader was only missing for some members.

You guys do a fantastic job making this the best site the absolute best :woohoo:

Thanks again

Bought a 750 Honda over one these back in the day mainly because money was so tight (maybe 300 bucks diff?) and I've kicked myself a hundred times over the years for doing it. Beautiful job.

Remember a friend (two brothers) that bought one new....... he ran it hard !! Un Godly burn outs and wheelies down in the school parking lot and around town ...... his older brother (closest friend that I grew up with) was 100% Honda bought every model as soon as they came out...... 160, 305, 450, 750, 900 and then a six...... lost track of him after the 10 and 20 year school get together..... bet money he's still riding.

Yeah, he does have an early hand bent Yosh that was on that bike before he got the 4into4's.

Whoever painted that Z1 deserves a pat on the back as well, hell of a paint job
