any advice would be great, also if anyone rides one how do they like it?

Spectre 750s were shaft drive and had factory rear air shocks. Besides some trim differences, I'll bet a lot of non-drivetrain LTD 750 parts will fit. Might look kinda funky mixing chrome and black parts though... Just curious, is the one you are looking at maroon/black or gold/black?

I remember having a 750 dealer loaner back in '85 when my GPz550 was being serviced. Loved that 750!

literally the same exact bike as the one pictured, its 300 bucks or best offer, says it needs carb work and comes with a vetter with radio... i would sell that of course but might be a fun project. my 650 turned 750 project is nearly done so i need another bike to occupy my energy ;)

$300.00 bucks and needs carb work. How's it look? The exhaust is black chrome. Probably doesn't really matter, if it can be made to run it's worth it.

I've got a KZ1100 Spectre. The only down side is that stupid stepped seat. I'm too tall to sit in the bucket all day.

I see that backrest is just bolted right through the grab bar was that designed to do that or was that someones lack of finding one that would bolt on the bike?
