1981 KZ1000 LTD was created by mopguy
Need help in locating a new foam for seat. Thanks, Tony.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

I'd call around the local upholstry shops and check prices. If you find the foam and need to do some trimming, an electric carving knife does a great job.

They are usually on ebay or you can try a local upholstery shop.

Having no luck on e-bay. I guess I will need to go to a local shop. Thanks.

Thanks for putting me in contact with Z1 Ent. They said that all LTD's seats are the same. Thanks, Tony.
