Kawasaki kz1000 LTD description

1978 Kawasaki 1000 LTD.  Previous owner rebuilt the bike with the major components being rebuilt by Redline Cycle in Illinois.  Check their website for specifics and quality. Engine is 1075 cc, welded crank, undercut 2nd gear with Andrews 2X degreed cams, Dyna coil & ignition with 29mm smoothbores.

Previous owner put 4,000 miles on since the rebuild, I put on about 800 miles and then parked the bike almost 3 years ago.  The tires are good, no cracks, but since they are now ten years old I purchased new ones that will go with the bike.

Engine serial # KZT00AE044792.  I looked it up and although its listed as a 1978, it shows up under the police model sequence. 

Seat bar is the KZ type cause I liked it better.  During a long trip I'd put the sissy bar on it. 

Everything was redone including powder coating the frame, too much to list. Pictures tell the story.

Bike is sold as is, buyer responsible for shipping/pick up.

Redline rebuilt the carbs early Spring (thank you ethanol gas),  Started it, shut it off, drained all the gas, put in 1 gallon ethanol free Supreme in the tank, changed oil, plugs, but left the gas off.

Motorcycle Sidecar is Literally a Car

Tue, 21 Jul 2009

Adjectives fail me.  This almost seems like one of those sci-fi movies where an evil scientist tries to cross two deadly animals together to create the ultimate killing machine. So what are we looking at?  It seems to be the deformed love child of a Citroën Xantia and a Kawasaki 1000 RX. This custom project, called “Snaefell“, cost its creator about 15000 Euros and 10 years of part time work.
