1984 KZ 700

Recently got a 1984 KZ 700.
it seems to be a rare model? not too much info out there.

I am looking to turn it into a cafe racer.

Does anyone where to get a cafe racer tank for this model? Is there any other KZ tank that would fit this bike?

THANKS!!

Howdy. I don't know much about the cafe racer stuff, but there are probably a few good sites, so if you can't find any bolt-on cafe tank info then there probably isn't anything specific to your bike, since it's kinda rare.

As for a Kaw tank, I believe your bike is similar to the 83 KZ750-L3 - it's a rare bike as well. The tanks look identical in the diagram drawaings & have the same petcock & fuel gauge assy. The 82 GPz750 tank looks the same as well.

kawasaki.com shows '84 models including:
700 Sport Standard
700 LTD Shaft
NINJA 750R

Fuel tanks might fit.

Good Fortune!

I have an '84 kz700 -- it was the year that Harley lobbied Congress and got the government to make it very difficult/expensive for the Big 4 bike makers in Japan to import 750cc and larger.

To be frank, my kz700 in stock trim is a *tank.* I mean it is heavy, I believe it makes the "500 club" easily, being just under 500 lbs. with no fluids in it.

Here's a photo of the bike in stock trim and also the GPz750 -- the tank shape looks identical:







If you're into this type of cafe and want some inspiration, have a look at the Kaw Zephyr series -- the 550, 750 and 1100 Zephyr were really cool cafe bikes from Kaw in the early 1990s, a bit before their time as the 'naked sportbike' aka 'retro' craze had not taken off yet, Kaw was early to market with the Zephyr cafe bikes but they are righteously cool.

my mistake

thanks for the info martin! very helpful

thanks everyone!
This is great information and suggestions.

thanks again...i'll post my findings.

cheers!

Here is my 1984 KZ700A so far. Not very many of us out there.

awesome!
here is mine. flipped the handle bars just to get a feel for what clubmans would look like.
The fuel tank is rusted -not usable.

just started this a couple nights ago.

cheers

that's my first KZ700A1 in picture with 3 wheeler, missed it, so i bought another one..
miss the 3 wheeler too...
check out KZ700.com for updated parts from time to time....

might have a KZ700 tank in storage but it will need to be repaired..

Didn't like the Vance & Hines pipe on my first on. I won calendar picture in September a few years back.
Love my KZ700!!!!!!
