Your bike looks very nice, is that a CSR?

I honestly wish I could pick that bike in the classifieds up, it looks like a deal.[/quote]

Thanks Jimbo!
There are / were a few Kz1000P's for sale here in STL for under $1K, if still for sale. I always search CL for sale section for anything Kawasaki. It pops with all kinds of old kaw type stuff.. generators, atv's etc. I had a Kaw 750 jet ski at one time. I had a CSR prior to this one. It also ran like a banshee.

I love these bikes! The 81CSR had laced wheels. My bike is an 81 LTD model. My 81 CSR (now sold) :

Can either Jimbo302 or old_kaw measure your ground clearance for me? The exhaust on my KZ1100 bottoms out on the ramp for my lift (the whole system also looks pretty crappy) and I'm thinking about getting a delkevic to replace it.

Thanks,
Matt

Mine is torn apart, but When I get it All together, I can certainly do that.

Hey jimbo! That shift lever points straight forward on my bike. Of course, it all depends exactly where your left footpeg ends up.

Sorry, Matt.. Been busy with a project lately, combined with cold rainy weather, makes going out into my unheated tiny workshop fun times. I do remember that this exhaust doesn't have near the ground clearance that the stock exhaust has.. Probably around 6" or less. Also it did make my craftsman motorcycle jack unusable, although I normally use my center stand anyway.


I think weather will be nice today. I might get the bike out for some therapy. :-)
