according to the frame its a 77-78 kz1000 a1 or a2,the A series bikes of 77-78 were the only ones im aware of that used the stamped steel rear foot peg brackets coming off of frame. the red paint and pre 79 body work and brake calipers behind front fork make me lean towards the 78 version but somebody added ltd rims,dual discs and differant exhuast from newer bike. here in the states the 79 version also had what was referred to as the smog motor which had a newer style head with smog ports on top of motor,the regular kz or a3 series also marked the beginning of what was referred to as the mkII motors ....................

It’s a 78 Z1000a2 you can tell by the vacuum fuel tap i think it is a UK spec bike because they did come down with alloy wheels.. It has a LTD front mud guard Wrong front Master Cylinder US style rear shocks and short rear mud guard Painted engine Wrong speedo the one that is fitted is off a later bike Wrong paintwork Horrid exhausts don’t know what they are... |
