1978 Kawasaki Z650
1978 Kawasaki Z650
For sale is a Z650, believed to be imported from the USA and registered in the UK in 1996. The restoration has been a slow process and is still incomplete since the owner’s brother passed away. The engine has been completely stripped, cleaned, and painted. Carbs have been ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt, wheels have been powder-coated, and fork springs have been replaced. The brakes have been modified with twin pistons, and a new 4 into 1 exhaust has been installed. The frame, swinging arm, and fork clamps have been powder-coated, and all bolts, nuts, and washers are stainless steel. The electrics have been redone with a new loom and electronic Boyer ignition system. The bike needs some finishing touches, including wiring in the bar switches, fitting foot pegs and rear brake, and sorting out the rear light. The sale also includes a part-dismantled Z750 engine, a set of carbs, workshop manuals, and other spare parts. The bike is not a matching numbers bike and no information about its history is known. Viewing is welcomed, and no offers below the starting price will be accepted.
