1975 Kawasaki Other

Description

This is a fully restored 1975 Kawasaki Z1 B. I have a clean and clear NC Title in my name. The bike was completely disassembled and restored using original parts where possible with Z1 Parts.net and Z1 Enterprises reproductions for the rest.
The motor was Vapor Honed and restored by Atlanta Motorcycle Works. They documented the build on their web site atlantamotorcycleworks.com. It is under bikes listed as “Edwins - 1975 Kawasaki Z1-B engine build”. It has the beginning to end restoration including the engine running in a video.
The carburetors, switches, and gauges were restored by Clay Stockdall of Paola, KS.
The wheel and forks were restored by Howard Boone of Birmingham, AL
The frame and metal parts have been powder coated.
The 6mm and 8mm standard hardware is stainless steel scuffed to appear Zinc plated. The brake rod and hardware are stainless.
The 10mm, 12mm and up were Zinc re-plated along with any unique smaller hardware. The torque link and brake actuator lever were re-chromed.
The body set, exhaust, seat, air box, wire harnesses and many other parts are from Z1 Parts.net.
Electronic points, electronic rectifier and regulator, stainless steel rear spokes, front wheel is an OE with zinc spokes and the rim re-chromed, headlight mounts are 73 style instead of 75 as I like the smooth look, no rear pegs but the mounts are there, CTEC battery tender pigtail, OE front master cylinder rebuilt but original excellent anodized surface, sealed battery, OE MITO mark tool set- missing pliers, Allen wrench and feeler gauge, OE owners manual with a torn cover
The OE aluminum parts that have been polished have some small nicks and marks that weren’t polished out in some areas.
Odometer was rebuilt at the mileage shown, I do not know actual mileage.
I have ridden less than 100 miles since restoration was complete. The VIN, build date, and parts date codes are listed on a sheet in the pictures section.
