Help Me get going, 1981 KZ750 LTD was created by SnyperX
So you may have saw my previous post on possibly picking up a 1981 KZ750 LTD for $400. I got the bike Friday and got it home. Bike has the carbs, but not installed on the bike. Owner stated bike had run a couple of years back. I am looking to leverage this forum to help with the build. This is my first project bike purchase.
Current state of the bike after getting it home.
My vision for the bike over the Winter.

I'd vac it out then put a little oil in each cylinder before turning it over.

Good luck with your project. My signature has several links you may find useful. Most specifically, new owner things to know, and a source for carb O-rings. Don't be tempted to buy "carb kits", do a full teardown and replace the O-rings. That should be all you need, other than, maybe, float valve needles.
Good luck again.
