Hi. Thought i would share my barn find with everyone.
1978 KZ1000 bought over in 2003 and sat in a barn ever since. Drained the tank and carbs, some fresh plugs and a tow with the tractor and she fired right up!!
13000 miles on the clock..no idea how true that might be but she certainly hasn't been anywhere in the last 14 years.

You sure Paul looks like an A1 A2 to me, looks like someone has put ltd rear wheel on and god awful seat and sissy bar, rear foot rest hangers are not ltd.

I'm not a big Zed historian, but i know a good bike when i see it. I thinks its an A2 as the LTD had different rear foot rest hangers, but what do i know. I'll leave that up to you guys.
The sissy bar, bars and crap chrome have gone in the bin already!
Irish rat version of a Sanctuary bike me thinks.

It's a P...?
What's the frame number?
Doesn't matter much - take the cissy bar off and get a non LTD wheel, a quick buff up and it's a good
