I've got a rebuild thread for this bike but sadly, it's not here on KZRider, it's on The GS Resources. I've been a member over there for quite some time and while I joined here at a later time I just wasn't engaged here. At any rate, the rebuild thread is here...
www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread...i-KZ750-Resurrection
Lots of photos.:)
If the mods think it useful for the archives I could recreate the thread here. There is nothing earth shattering going on in the thread, but it's good entertainment for other bike restoration masochists like myself.

Super nice bike, up there with the best restorations I have seen on any forum I am on.
I followed the build thread over on gsresourses from when you started,
It worth checking out, very good stuff, you not only put a lot of time in the bike but in posting the progress which is time consuming also,
Like you said its " it's good entertainment for other bike restoration masochists like myself."
NICE WORK!!

Hi Ed
Your build thread would be a welcome addition to KZR. So please do

Yes indeed a beautiful bike. Nessism's write up on how he restored just the clutch basket is a snapshot of the level of detail he put into the project and deserves an award in itself
Congrats Ed
