The best replacement for my airbox, is the original.
The next best would be any KZ900 Box
The third best would be any box from 76-80 (non shaft drive)
And the last option should be the pods
The z1 airbox will work but modifications will need to be made
So, I have to ask, does anyone have an airbox or know anyone that has one from 76-80? Please let me know if so.
As for the tank, this just looks better (see attached) and you can go farther.....especially with my problem. I have TWS. (Throttle Wrist Syndrome).....the more gas the better
I don't know what mods to the Z1 airbox would have to be made? The Z1 airbox fit in my bike real nice with NO mods.
I used a 78 KZ1000 frame and use a Z1 airbox for my dogs sidecar bike. (The donor bike was a wrecked 1976 KZ900)
The back of the airbox even had enough material to support it's self on the front edge of the battery box tray.
Yes, I also use a K&N filter.

The local Meth Head POS stole my Z1 box, cut it to fit a auto air cleaner for his Honda 750 four. :sick:
He couldn't understand why I hated him so. Good thing he died. :whistle:

I am now running into another issue. The carb on the outer most left side was leaking out the over flow. I adjusted the float so it wasn't leaking and now the carb next (just left of center)to it is leaking out the overflow. Do I need to adjust every float until it no longer leaks? I don't want to adjust them too much as I don't want them to run lean. Previous owner told me that he put in new float needless.... Carb I opened looks new. Do you think the new needles are smaller than previous needles? Please give me some good advice.
