Kawasaki KZ1000 WISECO 1105CC description

Up for sale is my 1978 KZ1000.  I have owned the bike since 2009 and have performed all of the work myself and can answer any questions.  I have some of the receipts but not all and I also have some pictures of the engine when I was building it.  The bike has been together for around 6-7 years in its current form, so it has been tested and done correctly.

The valvetrain has all been adjusted (measured and replaced the valve spring shims to obtain correct valve clearance), carbs have been rebuilt, synced, and re-jetted and the ignition system upgraded to solid state Dyna S components.  It sounds like a sewing machine when you’re cruising.

I had the bike repainted a couple years ago.  It has a base/clear coat with the factory decals under the clear and sanded/buffed to look all one level.  The paint is not perfect but it’s very close.    You can clearly see what is in the reflections in the pictures and it looks as good or better in person.

The only thing that the bike could use is a set of fork seals up front, very slight seepage.  The chrome looks presentable but does show some age.  The tires are in ok shape.

Through my ownership, almost all of the wear parts have been replaced and or upgraded.  Below is a list of the parts I can remember I have put on, I am sure I am forgetting a few.  Feel free to contact me about the motorcycle, no solicitors or help needed in trying to sell the bike.  If you have zero feedback, please contact me before bidding or your bid will be removed.
