    My 1978 kz1000 bobber

    Been working on this beast for a while now and I'm down to the wiring and I'm pretty sure I'll never finish it... but tell me what you think.

      I'll give ya a hundred bucks for it. Heck, I'll even come get it so you don't have to mess with all that wiring and stuff!

      It looks great! Did you get a prefab hardtail section, or do it yourself? That thing is going to be freakin' fast..... Those 1ks are fast anyway, but chopped down like that, it is going to scream!

        Tempting but I might want to finish it one day. Also the hard tail is custom made.

          BTW... Why don't you think you'll ever get it finished?!?!!! It's screaming to be ridden!! Definitely one of the better looking KZ1000 out there. Nothing flashy, perfect stance, clean and custom... GET ON IT or I'll come over and buy it from you then proceed to ride that sucker 100mph all the back to Vegas!!!

            They had them up to I think 1980-81 after that no kick start.
            I have a 78 KZ1000 with a kick and a 82 KZ1100 without.

              Good info to know. Seems like around that time every manufacturers were getting rid of the kick start and switching over to electric start only.

              I'd like to myself a kz1000 to throw around! Fast and fun as all hell!!

                      Get me a stock wiring diagram and I'll make you a barebones schematic. PM me if you come up with it.

                      That thing is awesome. I didn't know the 1000s had kickers... Makes me rethink my next bike.

                        I have a diagram, the only way I can send it to you is email. That would really help me so much. I'm really not that good with wiring

                          Check your PMs

                          Oh, and one condition... If I'm in Salt Lake while the things running, you gotta let me take it around the block
