LTD style seat. wheels are in good shape the rear one has a couple of marks from tire repair. new battery. instruments are good. the front rim is original and in good shape. the front tire looks good. the bike was taken down to the bare frame and stripped and painted. the chrome is really nice many new nuts and bolts to many to list. you won't be disappointed. I spent about four years off and on getting it back to the way I sold it to him. Sorry I don’t have the original pipes or the replacement Kerker exhaust. (The Kerker was badly rusted) These KZ900's where almost always altered in the Omaha area. normally with a Kerker exhaust. K&N filters. and LTD style seat. Has owners handbook. and some of the original tools it there tool bag. This Kawasaki engine starts up and idles flawlessly. runs great. shifts as smooth as it did the day it left the Omaha Kawasaki. all the electrical and gauges work as original. but the horn doesn’t. brakes work great. clutch works perfectly. all cables work smoothly. The Paint and chrome looks better than new. Still has the factory coating on one lever. bike was always professionally maintained I have put around 10 miles on the bike and it is still fun to ride.
