Took a ride and picked up a true barn find

A great find. Looks like a KZ 1000 LTD.

Its an a4 but the lester rims will polish u beautifully no scratches or nicks, and the Kerker tail pipe and chrome chain guard too!! then there are the tac and speedo too!3 years ago I bought another sunblister about 8 miles up the road, this bike will complement it nicely! What I was told It has new rings put in it 5 years ago but the wiring is a mess and he couldn't get it to run so he parked it I do have another motor in the corner I can put in it with 20k miles on it. $400-00 cash with title

nice score. barn finds like that are becoming increasingly rare

After dusting off Some of the dust and using the shop vac It kind of reminds me of a psychedelic poster from the 70's I think someone was color blind. Still a lot of great hard to get parts. I have the title and getting closer to stripping it to the frame for a better view of what is here Its good it was inside out of most of the elements Purple motor and blue frame maybe belonged to a clown. Both owners are still alive and are local Ill give them a call and see if I can get,, The rest,,,,, of,,,, the story..

Good save.

Hey there buckaroos and buckeretts out there in kawboyz land!! If your oil drain plug rounds off and ya caint find yer pipe wrench,,,,,,just weld a 1 1/8th nut on the draine plug (chrome optional) but watch out cuz youll have a hangy downy thingie down there.But youll be able to make it so tight ya wont even need an "O" ring on it!!

Very descriptive.

I am certainly at awe with this thing. but the frame is good! bottom of the pipes look like the guy was out riding ditch for irrigating. H4 headlight an sae bolts but nice Stanley bucket and rings oem bars with internal wiring in nice shape, im hoping I can clean up the controls. I have a nice wiring harness and Ive never messed with the aftermarket side covers with the screws in it and wondering if I can get the nuts off the grommet holes, grommets are there,,sort of. Im still after those Lesters and trying to get the tail pipe off,,, bitt rusty.

Wow, Those lester rims are lite! All these years I figured they were at least as heavy as the1000 mags but dang! I think tomorrow Ill dig out my Morris mags and compare. I picked up a nice set of dual front rotors that aren't drilled for the inventory, I just couldn't say no for a case of beer trade. My planned buffing program for this winter has almost doubled But OOOOooo its gonna be nice!!!!!!!!!!
