1975 Kawasaki Z1B Motorcycle

Frame SN: Z1F-78309Engine SN: Z1E-078687This bike is a great runner. I have owned it since 6/1992. When I purchased it there was only about 4. 00 miles on the odometer. Only driven when weather conditions were very good. First few years of ownership I put on about 1. 00 miles per year. For the past 15 or so years it has been rode only to attend a local antique and vintage motorcycle show which put on only about 175 miles per year. I changed the oil every other year (drained oil looks like new). cleaned it up. and put it away for the year. It has always been stored indoors in a heated building. My philosophy is to treat my equipment very gently. I feel the payoff is greater reliability and extended equipment life. This bike was always treated that way and received a lot of TLC. I posted a YouTube video. If interested in viewing. email me and I will send you a link. Modifications from stock:1. I installed a Dyna S CD ignition. All original parts will be included if you prefer points. 2. New drive chain and sprockets about three years ago. I used a drive chain with a repair link instead of a continuous chain. Defects:1. Corroded right side top muffler. Lesser corrosion on lower left side muffler near bottom. See picture. 2. Very small dimple on top of tank by steering head. my bad the first time I removed the tank. See picture. 3. Rear tire rim has a few scratch marks caused by an idiot who put a tire on for me. I specifically brought it to that shop because they had a machine to install the tire. When I picked it up I noticed the scratches. He said their machine was broken so he used tire irons. Items included with sale:1. Wind screen. 2. Original shop manual. 3. Several books on the Z1. 4. Half dozen oil filters. 5. Rebuilt carbs about 5 years ago. I saved all original parts. 6. I replaced rubber fuel tubing a few years ago. I saved the original retaining clamps. 7. Chrome rear view mirrors. I used these because it was easier to move the bike into storage through a doorway. 8. A headlamp and taillight. This bike has no warranty and is sold as is. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs.
