1978 KZ1000 Z1R

I decided to sell my almost all original KZ1000 Z1R. I have owned this since 1987 and it has sat drained of fuel since 1990. I recently took it out of the shop and cleaned it up and decided to see what would happen if i added fuel down the fuel line but not into the tank. It started on the second kick and idled. It did have small backfiring through the carbs as it warmed up. The bike has a Kerker 4 into 1 exhaust as seen in the pictures and I do not have the original. The seat had been recovered years ago and does have the original pan with kick starter attached but no tool kit. I had taken the lettering off of the side plates years ago and set them aside with the original manual and black case and have since lost them. I will include them if I find them but assume they will not be there. The left side plate has a crack in it and had been repaired in the past along with a repair that was made on the fairing that is only noticeable from the inside. There is a fair amount of rust on the bike but it does roll slowly and all of the lights work. The wiring has a lot of the covering that has fallen off but is not all torn up. It has the original keys and all of the locks work properly. The air box is not in the pictures but is included also. This would make an excellent restoration project for someone wanting to start with an original matching number bike. I know that I have forgotten plenty for any of you that know these bike well but please ask all the question you want and I will do my absolute best to answer them. This has been with me longer than my wife. two children and grandson so it will be hard to see it go. My son and i have changed our interests and I would love to see it end up somewhere that it will be restored. I will assist with shipping as I can. it is up to the new owner to arrange for that. As usual there is no warranty implied or otherwise on an older classic such as this.
