[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 914595, member: 956"] --G, the pix posted are of the original, naked KZ1300, 1979 'Z' model sold outside the states. I *think* they are identical sans the 'Air Induction System) aka like on our FJR's. I bought mine with a factory fairing (uglier than than the Califia fairing, but can hold an 18 pack with ice) and Krauser bags. BTW, if you carry an 18-pack on ice, no one, I mean NO ONE, leaves you behind, even if they can.... I agree. By today's standards, the bike pretty simple, electronics wise. No computer, FI, etc. It does have a ton of spacers and shims though - but these can be machined, if necessary. The most difficult issue at this time is pistons - and Wiseco can make new pistons after a 'pattern piston' for a fairly reasonable price, IIRC, 140 USD, including rings, wrist pins. ...and we're off to the rodeo.
