I’m still looking at this video 13 years later June 2, 2022. I’ve been writing these old school since 1983. I have one completely built and enough parts to build three more. I’m never getting rid of my old schools🎉🎉🎉
Very Nice my Brother clean!!! If you are A Bike enthusiast you got to get you A Kawasaki 1000 old school the Girls love them i cant tell you how Much kiity kat I've gotten because of This Bike. This is the players choice of Rails in the Stable.
Love this bike, i watched this video a while ago, do you still have this bike? Are you in MD also? If so hit me please. kawman6577@gmail.com I have a few also
Where's Mike Shultz in Frederick MD. I'm thinking of buying one that needs put back together, already streched and powder coated. Nice bike by the way!!!
I have quite a bit of KZ parts I am parting with. also have 3 bike 2 are 1976 and 1 is a 1977 will sell together or separate all bikes have clear titles call Ralph at 386-717-3402
"James Davis", you can use '73 to about '80 k-z frames (with brace kit) or, if you have dough, Spondon makes modern (infinitely improved) replica frames (accepts kz body-work)
It's 11 to 1 the reason I can start it on stick start is because it has a fire switch which allows the motor to spend at about half tact til I hut the fire button. It's not a track bike I run it ion the street with c12 race fuel . This bike is riden daily in 100 degree heat with no problem . I'm sure 8 second bikes are trailered to the track.shell be on give track the season and I'm sure she'll better then 9.90 maybe not 8s but for what she is she's fast.
I'm in the process of putting together a '78 Z1-R. 12.5:1 1198cc and a Pro J Model head except this time I'm getting 36 flat slides because Lectron carbs aren't good for street riding. Finding a pipe is going to be hard because I'm looking for a Denco Pro FX or Vazer Pipe. With a slick and wheelie bars I should be in the 8.90 index with ease. I love these old Kaw's as much as I love the old 350 Chevy. These are a classic hot rod.
ROFL@Shes pretty fast, she'll hurt you. Nice looking but listening to it idle it would be hard pressed to run in the 9.90 or faster index. Being able to start it with a stock starter tells me is a low compression motor. My 78 LTD used an 1198cc 12.5:1 piston kit with a bred and sleeved stock block. I ran a VHR Pro J Model head with 35mm Lectron carbs from Paul Gast and a Denco left hand tricone sidewinder. I ran an 8.90 index all day longt. I used the factory '78 LTD paint too.
i do know more than you ....those are cheap ass aftermarket side covers ...,, and the z1covers look best out of all the kz's .......i do all my own work.. you pay hacks to fuck your bike up .....your a poser !
Beautiful

Is it a daily ride, or just for dragging? (How many miles you put on it, if used for trasport?)
Sounds as good as it looks! I know how fast mine is, yours must be a rocket. Nice, way nice. You got my vote!
what frame should i use to build one of these??
How much hp
Hell yeah!! Now that's a KZ! Love the rear tire/swingarm.

Can you give me an ideal on how much it cost you?? I have a 1978 KZ I want to put a 260 0n.
Beautiful motorcycle.That thing is Mad Maxed!Done perfectly.You have good taste and ideas.Congrats
Great looking Kaw, and oh yeah haters should be shot in the face at point blank range!!!!!!
the question should be why put cheapass after market side covers on it ? your the one that said there real kz covers .THERE NOT ! ..
I used a 2000 zx9 on mine. You can use just about any one, you have to reuse the steering stem from the stick front end.
i do know more than you ....those are cheap ass aftermarket side covers ...,, and the z1covers look best out of all the kz's .......i do all my own work.. you pay hacks to fuck your bike up .....your a poser !
hey dude im building a 1980 kz1000 ive been wondering what frontends for later model bikes are interchangable?? like a zx9/11/10???
Nice Kawi!
i got 76 i ll sell you..
