Description

I recently acquired this bike as a partial trade and I have no use for it. NO RESERVE so bid to own it. This is a beautiful motorcycle. Previous owner owned this bike for 24 years (1990-2014) and stored it in a climate controlled basement. He also did ALL maintenance and modifications. For the last 10 year this bike was drained of fuel and stored away. Lots of great history with this bike and multi local show winner!1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 Only 26. 00 original milesModifications:1) Kerker 4to1 exhaust system2) Chrome Low Boy rear shocks3) Dyna III Electronic ignition system4) Accel yellow coils and plug wires5) Low rise drag bars6) BEAUTIFUL Sun Fire Candy paint job 7) New front and rear tires8) Chrome EVERYWHERE on the motorBike starts right up. runs. rides and shifts but NEEDS carb work BADLY. Carbs drip/leak and bike runs rough at this time. All lights. dash. HI/LO. tail and brake lights all work great. New front and rear tires. Known flaws:1) Carbs need kits or rebuilt. They leak and the needles are not seating properly.  2) There are a couple chips in the paint on the tank from storage. I do have the paint to include with the bike for touch ups. 3) The previous owner lined the gas tank which is awsome. but he dripped a few drips on the top of the tank and stained it (see pics). Not terribly noticeable. EXTRAS INCLUDED: 1) Stock center stand2) Stock coils3) Stock mirrors4) Set of Mikuni "Pumper" carbs and chrome "bread box" air cleaner5) Touch up paint for the candy paint. Clear and clean Indiana title (to me) in hand. I'll go out of my way to insure this bike is exactly what I say it is. If you have any questions. feel free to ask anytime. I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability. If you are local you are welcome and encouraged to come and inspect the bike prior to bidding. I will work with your shipper and help load the bike up when the time comes. I have described this bike to the best of my ability and knowledge. However. this is an antique. 36 years old motorcycle and is obviously sold "As Is" and "Where Is". No warranty expressed or implied.  Thanks.
