Hey all - haven't been on this forum in a decade or so! I've currently got a 2018 z900rs, but was missing the old bike feel. So I've just purchased a... Reasonably neglected KZ. It turns over, and is mostly there. I'll be getting it running and stopping and offering it to my dad for Xmas(or his birthday the following month). If he turns it down, I'll repaint the tank and plastics, rewire what I need to, and making it mine.

If anyone has spare parts I am very interested.
I mainly need the following:
Ignition switch w/keys.
Headlight bucket.
Side covers.
Carb boots.
Turn signals.
Gauges (missing speedo and odo is cracked)
And oddly enough - despite it being a 650B - the front end is off a dual disc model. So I'm also looking for calipers and master cylinder/lines for I believe, the 650C model.


Thanks y'all! I'm sure I'll have questions as I dig into this bike.

I think you will find those are stock KZ650-B front forks. I don't think there were any made that did not have the caliper mount eyes on the right side even though the B didn't come with a caliper on that side. See links below. Ed

Welcome to the forum. There are lots of very experienced 650 members here to help. My first bike was a 1978 Kz650 C2 and the reason I have the Kz fever.

Good thing is there's plenty of them out there and still reasonable priced.
