Frame Models

What frames would match up with a 1980 KZ750-E1? Would a 1977 KZ 900 frame be the same?

Thank You
Ray

completely different you might be able to get some j model frame to work if you make new mounts in fact one of my drag chassis originally had a 750 engine in it now it has an 1100 motor in it.
1973 z1 2-1974z1-a,2-1975z1-b dragbikes1015cc+1393cc, 1977kz1000,1978kz1000,1981kz1000j, 1997 zx-11, 2000 z12r,1428turbo nitrous pro-mod and a shit load of parts thats all for now leader sask.,CANADA
I THINK MY POWERBAND BROKE

That's kinda hard to answer. What exactly are you wanting to do?

The best match would be the 80-82 750-E models.
Next would probably be the 80-83 750-Ltd-4 chain drive & 81-83 KZ650-CSR.

My options are running out on getting title for this bike.Unless a miracle happens soon it might be easier to just get a new frame with title.

What is a j model frame? Sorry don't understand!

Plan was to do a total restoration on this bike anyway and never really was sure of title ever coming to me. I figured if I get a title great if not then I will do this. I would prefer the original KZ750 frame or KZ650 but not many with title available.

Anyone, have a frame with title for sale?

Thank You
Ray

Kawasaki never used the same frame on two models, so you'll need another 1980-82 KZ750E frame to do a direct swap. Others made be adaptable, but there will be varying amounts of work and I doubt possible to make anywhere near original or worth the attempt.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Have you looked into getting a replacement title for the bike?

Here's a frame on ebbaayy: Clean Clear Frame - 1981 Kawasaki KZ750 KZ 750E 4cyl
It's in Michigan. I'd guess it would cost near $300 total shipped.
