I ran across a 79 Mark II. I forgot to look but was wondering if they had a true Mark II engine.

I thought the same thing years ago Pete,Jeff at z1 was the one who schooled me on it 5-6 years ago. B)
I guess Ive been lucky over the years Ive had 5-6 of the 80 1000ltds ,but never had a 79 I can remember anyway.

thats why I thought 79/80 were the same, those were the two years that they changed the valve covers from round to square ends, & I didnt know about the mismatched parts in the 79 motors, after owning the 80 for 30 years, you just enlightend me, I would"ve never known...Pete

Yeah there seems to be an abundant supply of the 80 ltds around these parts anyway,79s are scarce for some reason.

No Mark II engine but I bought it any way. I will part it out. It was worth the price for the engine.

It has the tall tires. Now no one will want them. I might put them on my A4.

A lot of missing parts.

I started unloading parts and some parts are the same as the Shaft bike I have. Gas tank,rear cowl,and more. One chain drive and one shaft.

This is a good thing. both are blue.

Is any parts on this bike hard to get? I need to sell the parts I don't need.


I did find out the rear rotor is BIG. I installed the rear wheel on my A4 and am going to have to remove the Rotor and put a smaller one on. My stay bar hits the rotor.

No side covers.

The parts are so close to fitting a ST but are off just a little. Roy
