Kawasaki kz1000 LTD description

1978 Kawasaki 1000 LTD.  Previous owner rebuilt the bike with the major components being rebuilt by Redline Cycle in Illinois.  Check their website for specifics and quality. Engine is 1075 cc, welded crank, undercut 2nd gear with Andrews 2X degreed cams, Dyna coil & ignition with 29mm smoothbores.

Previous owner put 4,000 miles on since the rebuild, I put on about 800 miles and then parked the bike almost 3 years ago.  The tires are good, no cracks, but since they are now ten years old I purchased new ones that will go with the bike.

Engine serial # KZT00AE044792.  I looked it up and although its listed as a 1978, it shows up under the police model sequence. 

Seat bar is the KZ type cause I liked it better.  During a long trip I'd put the sissy bar on it. 

Everything was redone including powder coating the frame, too much to list. Pictures tell the story.

Bike is sold as is, buyer responsible for shipping/pick up.

Redline rebuilt the carbs early Spring (thank you ethanol gas),  Started it, shut it off, drained all the gas, put in 1 gallon ethanol free Supreme in the tank, changed oil, plugs, but left the gas off.

The TT800 From Deus Ex Machina

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Deus Ex Machina, the surf/moto shop known for creating throwback, one-of-a-kind motorcycles, has released its latest work of art, the TT800. Paying tribute to the highly successful Triumph factory TT machines from the mid-1960s, Deus’ expert builder, Michael Woolaway, created the TT800 for a customer requesting a new, old Triumph. It sources a Kawasaki W650 bored out to 800cc with CR carbs, a custom TT inspired exhaust, custom chromoly racing frame, re-valved Öhlins forks, and a custom gusseted swing arm for more stability. A Beringer six-piston caliper front brake provides stopping power.

Geeky snippets ahead of the Phillip Island MotoGP

Tue, 13 Oct 2009

Valentino Rossi has finished on the podium eleven times in his twelve visits to Phillip Island across all three GP classes. The only race at Phillip Island that he did not finish in the top three was on his first visit riding a 125cc machine in 1997 when he finished sixth. In 1998 and 1999 he won the 250cc races and since then has had nine podiums in the premier-class including five victories, the last of which was in 2005.

NZ Superbike Series Points Leader Is A Grandfather Of Three!

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Dennis Charlett is stamping his authority on the New Zealand Superbike championship. The 45 year-old father of five and grandfather of three (no, those aren’t typos) won the first three races of the season during the series opener in Christchurch, placing him firmly at the top of the points standings heading into round two at Levels Raceway, near Timaru. The championship favorite certainly got the wake-up call as Taupo’s Suzuki rider Scott Moir raced to a convincing win in Saturday’s Superbike race, while Charlett was forced to settle for fourth place.
