What makes an ltd an ltd? Model differences etc.

PS. In case nobody else has mentioned it , that is one fine looking ride, Larry.

All three of mine have (had) center stands, but they were from the '80s ('80, '81, '85).

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the LTD steering heads were a bit more kicked out (more rake) than other models. Any truth to that?

My 79 does not have one and I really wish it did. I read somewhere on here that the LTD's didn't come with them, so maybe they started putting them on in the 80's, or else mine was removed.

My 76 900TD does not have one. I'm kinda glad not to have that hunk of iron under there. I have no problem hanging one on when I need it. Pretty much just for oil changes.

My 78 kz1000 ltd came with a center stand. It looked fine with the factory Jardines but when I put 4 into 1s I removed it for looks. I know the guy who bought it new a he didn't put it on for sure I still have mine. I saved all the stock part s I removed.
