78 kz 750 twin parts info???

I have a 78 kz750 twin and I am thinking about doing a complete overhaul on the engine and was wondering if anyone knows of a compnay or good resource of oem of aftermarket parts.. might even be interested in a bit of a hop up while I am doing it.. Please let me know, Scooterbob.

I just did a overhaul on my 79 KZ750 twin... learn from my misery:

to get Kawi part numbers, go to Bike bandit and use their OEM parts finders.

Flea Bay has some amazing buys on NOS parts which pop up at random. Scan there daily...

Bike bandit is OK for OEM parts, but babbitt'sonline.com is a bit cheaper.

The athena aftermarket gasket sets are marginal, but the only set I found. Don't trust their cylinder base gasket (make your own or be sorry later) or get an OEM gasket from Flea Bay's sellers.

I got some brand new kawi NOS piston and ring sets from www.cyclewareables.com for $36 each which is like stealing. They carry the 750 twin piston/ring sets in stock and oversized sizes.

Good luck on the overhaul, hope you have a service manual.

Not much hop up stuff avalible fot the twin , two into one pipe and some pod filters , Will require the carbs to be jetted , Cams can be sent off for regrinding .. Not a bad bike the way it is with out any hop ups .. easy rider but not all that fast .. Compaired to other KZs

The kerker-style 2-1 I put on mine added a few horses, don't bother with the MAC header they are crap.

Never tried pods.

If it's the B3 you're talking about, there's info and oem parts on cmsnl.com
