I'm planning on going to buy a 1979 KZ1000. I think it's an LTD. It's a shaft driven model if that means anything...
It's a fixer-upper, but I'm quite a tinkerer and always look forward to a good bike project. I am very mechanicaly inclined, and I have a good bit of experience with street motorcycles, Unfortunately, I don't know how reliable the engine in a KZ1000 with 60,000 miles on it will be. The current owner installed new pistons, rings, and wrist pins and had the head re-worked about 10,000 miles ago. Is this an adequate rebuild? or am I going to have to worry about crank bearings? I am a pretty "spirited" rider and I'll be driving about 50 miles to work when I'm able. Do y'all think this would be a trustworthy bike?
Pic:
It looks like crap in the picture because the guy didn't install the seat cover right. But that's ok, because I'm gonna cut a new seat anyway. Heh, and it certainly helps to have family that are in the upholstery buisness
Gah. I can't get the blasted pic to load... I'm trying!!!
