The hook is for locking a helmet under the seat.

Can anyone tell me what these parts are? 

 

The flat plate mounts in from of the battery box and helps to support the airbox.  The hump piece is part of the rear fender mount.  And the small piece looks like maybe it's a helmet hook where someone cut the hook off?


 

The stainless looking part with the 4 holes is to mount your rear mud guard, along with a big rubber part of the same shape with a flat bottom, you will need both , like this.

And DOHC beat me to the punch on the rest.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure Jim's right about the helmet hook. I'll have a look tomorrow, I imagine that the hook broke off - can't see anyone going to the trouble of cutting it off, pretty sure it'd just end up in the bin if it wasn't wanted...

Looks like I'm missing part number 18 in the battery box diagram. CMS doesn't list the part - any idea what part number it is and what it's for?

That part acts as a clamp to hold the battery in place.  I think that part is common to all of the 77-80 KZ1000?

Interesting - it's not in the parts list on CMS but is in the diagram. The part you linked is only used on the A3 and A3A (in the list it says 77 A1 but in brackets it specifies the diagram for the 79-80 models). Maybe I don't have to search the garage after all 

Anyone have any photos of where the tool case goes? Didn't have one on the bike but you can get replika ones pretty cheap so might be worth it.

Yeah, the same is true for Partzilla for the '77.  The diagram shows #18, but that part is not in the list.

The current database has a lot of errors and issues.  The old Kawasaki hosted one was really good.  I miss it.  I'm guessing the same part was used from '77 to '80.  It looks the same in the diagram.

The tool case rests on top of the air box filter cover and silencer tube.  It's not really secured to anything.  Do you plan to run the OE air box?

 

OK, then I'll get hold of a bracket for the battery. Running the stock air box and managed to find a silencer a while back.

Here’s one

Another option. Stainless, less wind resistance lol.

 

Thanks, couldn't find it on the search but I imagine shipping might be a bit pricey
I can get a repro one here pretty cheap.

Love this place.
