Despite having one ding and some rust on the inside...an original paint, short emblem 1973 tank is like pouring blood into the Kawasaki feeding tank :)

And it is not early seemless either!
That's another "oinkjohnson" koolaid item.
He made a killing off of that complete original 73, parting it out.
Check out his completed auctions on the "bay"

And go figure, he probally gave some old guy who was the original owner $500
for it. And told the guy he was lucky to get that.
And this helps raise the value of the 73 Z1.
one more original out of circulation.

My next plan is to have oink sell all of my stuff, and give me 50%.
Then we would both make money. I offered him all of my inventory, but
he did not want to give me what I wanted.
So I should load up and drive over to SW Ohio and sell it on consignment.
Yes oink does well, I buy something everyweek from him.
I bid on alot of stuff, what I think it is worth.
But do some research, he has alot of followers, they have very high % of bids, never win
with alot of retracted bids also, months later, sold items reappear.
Just my opinion.
I myself have drank the "oink" koolaid too, I am waiting on a box of parts that will be
here Monday. I also like BrianKZ's parts too.

It's not an original '73 tank. Look at z1e's site they have a breakdown on how to tell. The biggest give away that it's a replacement is the opening at the neck and the location of the hold down on the rear. I'm not saying its not a correct piece, just not original.

Unbelievable someone would pay that much for a tank. And it's not even in perfect condition.

I have bought parts from BrianKZ a few times, maybe the best experience buying anything privately online. Wish there was a good way to give him props, I was skeptical until I actually got my parts, super nice, fair prices...

How many guys on this site would have sanded it down and painted it flat black so it would look right on their bobber or "cafe"? Come on now, raise your hands. We all know stock sucks; right? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
