Good KZ 1300 Mechanic in California was created by KZLTD80
I have recently come in contact with an '80 KZ 1300. The bike uses oil and I suspect the top end needs attention--pistons and rings. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good shop in California that specializes in these old Kawasaki sixes? I am willing to transport the bike if a good shop is out of my immediate area. If you have any recommendations, please send them my way.
Many thanks is advance for your advice-
Bill

Thank you for the link and suggestion--I plan on contacting him and looking into BARF.
I am fairly particular about the quality of work that needs to go into this bike--and locating the correct parts needed for the repair. I have found many don't want the job of locating the parts (pistons/rings/gasket kit etc), so that may fall on me to dig around provide the right pieces. The gentleman noted in the link seems like he may be a good fit--will look into it.
Thx again-
