At first glance the bike did`nt look too bad but upon closer inspection had probably been damaged in transit from the US,the front light was completely missing and the front fender was damaged,the clock mount was snapped and I eventually got this welded as a replacement was silly money..The clutch adjuster was a total mess and it took me a while to find the small cover for the adjusting screw.The rear light was replaced with one off a KZ1000 CSR which seems the same,just tinted.I had the electrics sorted which was also a bigger job than I anticipated due to the strange US wiring system-a model specific laminated wiring diagram from kojaycat sorted that problem out though.The chrome is decent,the tank was spotless inside and the exhausts are excellent-a bit of a surprise as the bike is from Minnesota which is`nt a particularly warm place I believe.I had the carbs rebuilt which was a headache,the vacuum diaphragms were quite expensive and I had to replace leaky carb connectors which I found in the US.I was then able to get the bike MOT`ed on the vIn number and the same with the insurance-I had the original US documents so was pleased to get an age related registration which I`ve ordered in pressed aluminium-as soon as it arrives it`s time to finally get out on the road!
