:P I was looking for parts here in the UK but decided to buy the complete set! Needs a bit of a clean but overall it is in good condition with very little rust which is unusual over here. I reckon that is why we try and buy old bikes and parts from the USA. It runs pretty well too, the only problem is the starter clutch I think as it is a little difficult to start. Starter motor works OK but doesn't always turn the engine.

Nice find, that spare part bike might be a real good first bike at the end of the day..

Yes it is definitely a keeper. The only problem is that I keep too many. I wouldn't be able to break a complete KZ for spares as I would just have to try and restore it and end up buying more spares. They are far too nice a bike to break and if they are half decent I think they should be brought back to at least half decent running condition. They have a lot of history and are great bikes so I'll just keep buying parts from guys that do break them- someone has to otherwise I wouldn't get the parts.
