2 Models now 1 Project

After all of every ones help, I am now going to rebuild the stretched bike. I have a couple of question first. I have the number off the frame and engine so when I'm asking for parts I know what I'm talking about. If anyone has any info I would be grateful.
Frame # KZT100B524490 = ?
Engine # KZT00AE095L59 = ?

I have been doing some research and found the information I was looking for.

It looks to me like both of those match a 1980 KZ1000B4 LTD. Is that what you found?

Once you get a chance to take a closer look, please post some pictures. I'm curious to see what you find.

I have about 75% of an '80 LTD, with parts I don't plan to use. For example, if your forks are customized in a way you can't undo, I may be able to help.

What I found is: '80 KZ1000-B4:LTD, Color(s)-(1) Ebony, (2) Sundance Blue, Frame No. Range-KZTOOB-523544 - 535555,
Engine No. Range- KZTOOAE092601 - 092900 & KZTOOAE093001 - 110764, Bore X Stroke- 70.0 X 66.0 mm,
Compression Ratio-8.7:1, Maximum HP- 90 at 7500 rpm, Maximum Torque-8.9 kg-m at 6500 rpm.
That is what the bike started out as.

That's strange. Here it says the MKII came out in 79.

Yeah, that's correct. The Mk2 KZ1000 was made for two years, 1979 and 1980.

Hey Oldschoolkz1000, it's worth noting that the picture of your bike shows a valve cover that does not match your engine serial number. You should have the Mk2 valve cover, but you have a pre-1979 mk1 cover. It's possible that your bike has a head from an earlier model. The only real difference I'm aware of is air-ports for emissions reason.

It is very possible, the engine has been heavily modified. By who and what exactly, I don't know. I do know that it is a 1480 and has been ported.

Cut off the valve guides too. What cam does it have? I was thinking it could be detuned a bit for the street.

I don't know any of the current engine specs other then it has a 1480 kit and N.O.S and porting, which I found when I took off the carbs.

Anybody that is following this thread, please go to the tribute thread. It is a continuation of this. Thank you for the support.
