1973 KAWASAKI Z1 900- RESTORED-SOUTHERN CALIF-LICENSED-14569 MILES

THIS IS A LOW MILEAGE  RESTORED 1973 Z1. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF KAWASAKI'S SUPER BIKE.   ORIGINAL PARTS WERE RETAINED IF POSSIBLE.    OEM PARTS WERE USED IF AVAILABLE.  OTHERWISE  HIGH QUALITY REPRODUCTION PARTS WERE USED.    WHEN I PURCHASED THE BIKE. THE RESTORATION WAS PARTIALLY COMPLETE .   I  FOUND A KAWASAKI MECHANIC WHO USED TO WORK ON THESE BIKES IN THE 70s & 80s & I HAD HIM METICULOUSLY GO THRU THE BIKE FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK & REPAIR OR REPLACE WHATEVER WAS NEEDED.    I WAS GOING TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL BODYWORK SET REPAINTED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT TOOK 10-12 WEEKS.  I DIDN'T WANT TO TIE UP MY BIKE FOR 3 MONTHS SO I WAS LUCKY TO LOCATE AN NOS BODYWORK SET  & I HAD THEM INSTALLED.   OF COURSE THE NEW OWNER COULD HAVE THE ORIGINAL BODYSET REPAINTED OR INSTALL AS IS. THE ORIGINAL TANK IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR ONE VERY SMALL WHITE MARK ON THE RIGHT SIDE (1/4" DIAMETER).   THE SIDE COVERS ARE OK. HOWEVER. THE REAR FENDER COVER HAS SOME WEAR.  THIS AUCTION INCLUDES  BOTH SETS.     THIS COULD BE THE CORNERSTONE OF YOUR Z1 OR KAWASAKI COLLECTION.
