Sounds like depression to me. Some guys never shake it. That store needs a new owner. :(

I was thinking the same thing. I think I may have seen the store on the way up to Milwaukee.

There is another shop along the way that seems to have a lot of classic Jap performance bikes. I always wanted to stop in there, but I'm usually only up that way early on a Sunday morning.
1981 KZ550 D1 gpz.
Kz550 valve train warning.

I have a 1976 kv100 I've been attempting to restore while I've been trying to get my kz550 in line, what's cool about the kv100 is they weren't around the U.S. Much, they were in Canada and New Zealand as agriculture bikes, which is why the seat is so wide it was supposed to hold a shovel, the similar bike is the g4tr and after it was a kv it became the ke, pain to find parts for on eBay !

Can you verify the year?
1982 Kawasaki KZ1100 A2, Shaft
