Never used them, but I am sure there are other suppliers around and I am sure people with the same engine will help you find parts that are needed for your repair You can post what you nee here. Lot of members have spare parts. Click on Index, then click on Wanted, and post what you need, might as well look in the For Sale as well.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

MRC appears to be just a salvage yard. When stuff is needed, first thing I do is check the part numbers & cross-reference at Partzilla, then head over to EB & Z1Enterprises. Then search by part name & alternate names. For some items, new & NOS are preferable. It's good to be picky, but some parts can be refurbished easily. It can be a waste of money to buy any old part, especially if you aren't sure it fits or will work. always verify. PartsNMore is the only place I know of that sells reasonably priced muffler system connection gaskets.
