Are you really looking for new? There are aftermarket LTD sidecovers available from Maier and aftermarket tail pieces also...seats can be recovered to look as new, but you'll be relegated to eBay for a quality LTD tank (NOS if you are lucky) and all will probably need paint.

Haynes Kawasaki 900 & 1000 Fours 73-77 Workshop Manual be the same as a 79?

I'd skip the Haynes and other aftermarket manuals and search eBay for a Kawasaki Heavy Industries shop manual. Buy used and they are very reasonably priced.

Alright that sounds good. I'll do that. Where are these guys finding the sleek, smooth, shallow beautiful seats that I keep seeing on the site? All I found is the seat cover on Z1 Ent??? I bought it of course because I need a better seat but I would love to get my hands on one of the smaller shallow seats. Any ideas?

You mean this one?

I like the Gunfighter/lady with the small oval back rest.
Big bucks though.

That is exactly what I'm looking for screw how much it cost. The next pioctures I put up of this bike you shouldn't even be able to tell it was the same bike.

There's a set of LTD bodywork listed right now in the classified section of this site, if that's what you need. MKll bodywork is pretty rare, last good set I saw was about 5-6 years ago.Went for $800 US.

Not what I was looking for, but gave me a good I dea of what I still need to do. I should break this bad girl down and get the frame checked out and repainted aswell. I appreciate the info though, because I might need it.

The ltd body parts are pretty common on ebay. You will have to paint whatever you get though. As for the seat you can take to any shop and have it done.

Thanx for all of your help guys, maybe you can help me with this one... Where in the heck can I find an affordable 160 mm rim? I'm trying to price out what it would cost me to change the rear a little bit but I can't find just a regular 1600 mm rim.
