1975 Kawasaki Other on 2040-motos

Just want to get this part out of the way ... I will not ship the bike (internationally or in US). I don't know how and don't want the responsibility of doing so. I am happy to meet up with you if you're local or deliver within 25 miles personally (once the funds clear), but please don't ask me to deliver. I'll drive it to a delivery place if its semi-local, but that's about it.

1975 Kawasaki Z1 900 for sale.

I have owned this bike for over 20 years and put it together myself (for the most part), but I never ride it anymore and it is just sitting. I want you to be comfortable with your purchase so I will do my best to explain everything in detail as best I can, the good and the bad, but please ask questions.

The good:

Starts right up and rides great. Pretty fast by 1975 standards.

Engine:

Entire top end has less than 5000 miles on it.

• Weisco 1075 piston and ring kit
• Cylinder was from a KZ1000 I believe
• Webb "Hot Street" cams
• 28mm Mikuni smoothbore carbs
• Dyna electronic ignition (points conversion)
• Dyna coils
• HBE (Hot Bike Engineering - formerly Denco) exhaust.
• Exhaust is ceramic coated silver color.
• Oil cooler.

Frame/Chassis:

• Corbin seat - not even broken into my butt
• Frame is powder coated black
• Lester wheels
• Tires (forget brand) are in great shape still
• Dual disk setup came off a 76 LTD.
• Disks are pattern drilled
• brake lines are new steel brained line with a smoke color coating
• Master cylinder is new aftermarket
• Handlebars are lower drag style
• New grips, mirrors, headlight cover and polished aluminum handlebar cover
• Gauges have custom faceplate I made (see more in the not so good part below)
• Forks have progressive springs and the fork seals and oil have less than 5k miles
• Polished rear swing arm is off a Suzuki GS1100 and so are shocks.
• Fenderless rear bracket for light and license plate (I made it)
• Inside of gas tank is ceramic coated
• Pingle fuel petcock
• new battery (forget brand .. from Pep Boys last year)

The not so perfect ... :

• Tach and speedo gauges are jumpy. I think I forgot a washer or something when I put on the faceplate stickers. the gauges bounce around.
• Tach and speedo gauge lights aren't bright. I tried to put in blue LEDs bulbs but dint think it through properly and the light is blocked by the stickers I put on. you can see it, but not as bright as it should be.
• Sprockets are geared for more low end. I forget the tooth sizes of them but I remember thinking I wanted it fast off the line. in retrospect, I should have geared it a little better for highway cruising. It isn't horrible, just revving higher than I would like for doing 70 on the highway.
• Oil leak from stator housing. I tried fixing this and must be doing something wrong. It's a brand new rubber grommet for stator wires and new gasket and it still leaks. I am sure I just did something wrong.

 That's all I can think of that is wrong with it. Please ask questions and make sure you're are comfortable before bidding. Like I said, I want you to know what you're getting and feel good about it. I have owned this bike forever and have mixed feelings about letting it go. would love for it to go to a good home.
