KZ900 before and after

When I bought this KZ900 it was kind of tired looking but I knew there was a nice KZ under there somewhere. I replaced the tires, handle bars, grips, seat(NOS KZ1000 seat), chain, sprockets, new paint, went through the brakes, installed headlight, went through carbs, pulled the engine and cleaned it, polished the covers and put in a new LI battery. It runs beautiful. I am going to get rid of the Kerker this spring and put a set of pipes on it.

Wow! the bike now looks like a brand new one..

Nice job, that looks like a completely different bike.

One question did you make the engine stand mount or buy it?

The stand itself is a $75 Harbor freight item and the motorcycle engine mounts I made a few years ago out of scrap angle iron. I made one for Kawasaki 900's and one for Honda CB750's.

That's what I call keeping a cool tool!! Very presentable, and nice!!

Fine job!

Good Looking Bike
Nice Job bringing it back to beautiful condition

A very nice job bringing a 900 back to its former, maybe better look than when new. Always loved the green colour.
Look after it.

Really a beauty of a job........ always planned on doing this to a 1000 but have pretty much ran outta time .......did the same thing with a engine stand (tip from this sight) from Farm and Fleet for 40 bucks and it does work well...... o and if it was me you'd have to pry that Kerker from my dead cold fingers.:lol:
