Up for sale is my 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 LTD that’s a 23,870 mile survivor that considering its age is in very good running & cosmetic condition as can be seen in the pics,bike has clear title in my name.
The bike is in stock condition accept for the 4 into1 currently on it that’s sounds good not being too loud at cruise but does bark a bit if you get into hard.
Note-1,pic shows a brand new better looking more modern design Delkavic 4into in its un-opened original box that for an additional cost can go with the bike. It cost me $430 new & id let it go with the bike for an additional $230 .
Note-2,as can be seen in pic 3(?) I have the original rear hand rail in good cond that go’s with the bike at no cost to install if you want the more original appearance.
Note-3,the black paint is very reflective out in the sun the day I took the pics with the clouds & others things showing in the paint looking like could be defects when it’s not. The paint is in overall very good condition with no large defects to be seen anywhere. The pic of the chain guard has the cement driveway rough surface showing in it making the chrome look terrible when it’s not,the chrome on the chain guard is in good condition for its age,not perfect new but good overall.
The bike starts quick,few mins warmup & runs well from idle thru to wot without any hesitation etc being well sorted because I had it registered on the road.
Theclutch,transmission,brakes,lights,starter ,horn & gauges etc all work as they should.
