Can You Identify This Motorcycle?

There is an Art Festival here in Houston, Texas in the Spring, and this will be one of the entering artists:

www.theresahoneywell.com

Go to this site and the first item that is shown appears to me to be a KZ, but I am not sure. The question is - What Year and Model is it?

Word of Warning - This may not be for the squeamish.

Looks to me like a 77 - 79 650 B with an LTD/SR tank. Do LTD/SR tanks fit on the B frames with no mods?
1981 KZ550 D1 gpz.
Kz550 valve train warning.
Other links.
