Ok guys
The project has arrived. Turns out that it's a 1978 KZ1000 LTD hidden under dirt and black paint. Now I will try and post a pic.
So far, rear brake master is blown, brake fluid all over battery box and frame..

Will keep you posted
Jerry

those bikes can be real strong runners...mine never had one problem...you can pick up a good working rear cyl cheaper than a rebuild probably on e-bay...my 2 cents...congrats
