Be sure the kit you can get for $300 is a K1076 for the 1000J, and not the K1075 for the KZ.
It is, it's a one shot deal.
A friend of mine is a motorcycle machinist, and a couple of years ago he ordered this kit for a guy. But unfortunately the guy crashed his KZ1000J and was killed. And he had never paid for the kit.
This guy is actually a Nationally known Husky expert, and restores Huskies to showroom condition for people (Husqvarna motorcycles that is, not dogs). He does machine work for other bikes to make ends meet (one man shop).
I have mentioned that this kit was available for $300 several times here, but no one was ever interested enough to call him (not as of a couple of months ago anyway, I forgot to ask him about it the last few times I have seen him).
I assume you were warning me because the price is below dealer cost, but it's just an unusual circumstance.
Thanks for the info Jay, I always figure you know what you are talking about, considering the enormous amount of experience you have.
I'll have to check with him tomorrow and see if he still has it.
I also just acquired a KZ1100 cylinder block off a 85 KZ1100, and I assume it would bolt on and handle the 1105 (K1106 kit) quite well if I decided to go that way?
if the cylinder is prepared correctly.
Hmm, are you saying it takes something out of the ordinary?
If this is something you would rather not explain, I understand, you don't want to give away a competitive edge
Not that I am a competitor (not hardly, since I don't do work for anyone else)
