Where Do I source this KZ750L3 Bracket?

Trying hard to find the bracket that holds the seat and tank on the frame. Attached pic of it.

Kawi calls it the 32052 on the parts sheet ...

Searched ebay high and low with no joy.

Suggestions welcome.

Sorry, no suggestion other than to keep your radar up on ebay. That bracket was used on the following models so be sure to check ebay for these different bikes. Search KZ700 and GPz750. like looking for a needle in a haystack sometimes though...

This Kawasaki 32052-1078 BRACKET-TANK,RR is used on these models and components:

1982 KZ750-R1 GPz FUEL TANK
1983 KZ750-L3 FUEL TANK
1984 KZ700-A1 FUEL TANK

That 32052 is an incomplete part number, it will be something like 32052-XXXX

Once you have that full part number you'll see all the other models it was fitted to. 750 E R L and kz700 for starters I would think.

Googling the part number:
Click here > www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=32052-1078
produces several ostensible sources, some of which allow "adding to the cart," but might thereafter disappoint by belatedly reporting NLA.

Would suggest calling any supplier in advance of ordering to hopefully find a warm body willing to confirm actual availability.

Good Fortune!

Finding that part might take some doing. You might be able to fab up a bracket from aluminum bar from the home depot.

No , pass on the aluminium, the thin steel pressing with strengthening ribs is all better designed to ensure the tank stays on in a crash.

That bracket is one of those bits that isn't really a wear out/smash up/bling part so won't be too difficult to find I would expect,

Search with the (full) part number

Already did. No love. Searched "completed auctions", same thing. KZ700 bracket, nope. GPz750 bracket. No.

I'm sure one will pop up in time but if that bracket is needed immediately, I think some fab work is in order.

I was thinking 1-1/2 x 1/8" or 2" x 1/8" & use large fender washers to spread the load. I have some 1/8" that seems pretty stout. or get 3/16" thick. Or fabricate something from 1 or more pieces of galvanized steel bar &/or L-brackets or flat corner brackets from the hardware store.

For the stock bracket I checked eb-uk but didn't see anything. The 750-L4 probably used the same bracket.
The GT750 shaft has a similar tank, but I don't know if it used the same bracket.

Seek and ye shall find.

edit as in asking the vendor to sell just the bracket, not posting a complete bike to you :laugh:

just googled the part number, seems quite a few models share this part. The gt750 being the most unloved and more common model in uk,

Thanks much for the pointers.

Bought one off Partzilla. Hope they deliver.

At partzilla that bracket is listed as part obsolete, so they may not have it. I'd be surprised if they did, but I guess it's possible there's one laying around on a shelf somewhere in a warehouse.

A local motorcycle salvage yard may also have one.
