1977 KZ1000

I am looking to buy one of these from my sisters boyfriend. It has dual disc brakes on the front and a 4 to 1 exhaust. Needs a bit of work. Been sitting a long time, needs a kicker and a few other things. Three questions. Where can I find an electric start for this bike. OEM controls on the handle bars and what would a fair offer be to buy this. Thanks, Toby

Best place for parts is Z1Enterprises. www.z1enterprises.com or just click the ad on the right hand side of the forum. :laugh:

Here's the link to your model bike's parts: www.z1enterprises.com/catalog.aspx?pid=KZ1000-A1-1977

As for price, it depends a lot. Others will have a better idea than I will.

Welcome aboard. Pictures would help in determining the value. Ed

Fwiw, US model came with single front disc, and barrel style reservoir on front master cylinder.

Factory dual disc conversion provided larger 5/8" m/c to replace the smaller 14mm m/c used with single disc.

The size make be marked on underside of m/c.

Perhaps the entire front end has been replaced with parts from a different model.

Good Fortune!

It could be an LTD. Welcome to the site. Not knowing if it runs and it being a 77 you should be able to get it pretty cheap. How many miles and what shape is it in? If it's pretty rough I dont think $500 would be out of line.

Yes with oem dual front disc brakes.
And more likely the case at hand.

Good Fortune!

wire wheels or mags?
