Absolutely gorgeous!! I love that style, too bad Kawi could'nt have just kept producing it ad infinitum!! Let me know if you're planning on selling it, love it.. Closest I got was a '78 KZ650SR, owned it in 79-84, also a beautiful bike, a little too small for me now. The LTD 1000 is the best styled bike of all time.
Great Restoration
You did an excellent job restoring this classic liter bike.

I bought the exact same bike new from the dealer when I was 20. I would kill to have that bike back again. She's a beauty. I bought a kz 1000 this winter and I'm putting it togrther in my spare time and your pic brought back all the memories and good times I had on that bike. I'd be very interested if you wanted to sell her. E-mail me if you want to compare stories.
Thanks fo tor the pic Rob

Beautiful resto on your bike. I recently traded a generator for my 79 LTD and am in the process of restoring it. Your bike gives new thoughts on pipes, color, etc. Can you send my a couple pics. JT

Bought a 79 LTD new when I was 19, same color. Nice job it brings back memories. Maybe someday I'll have the pleasure again. Own a 06 C90 now, in couple of years maybe a new SG HD. Kawi really had a nice Machine back than, It's a classic today.

LTD 1000
Beautiful! I have a 1980 model in metallic blue w/ similar color scheme (instead of more common black with silver decal); but slightly less pristine. Fantastic restoration C.T. Mine is all original with @5400 miles since it sat for over 18 years while my kids grew up - it's so damn fast I didn't want to risk them growing up orphans. But ITS BAAACK!!! And feels great to be riding it again. True classics.

1980 KZ-1000 LTD...Parts Availability ?
Nice pix of restoration of the 1979 LTD ! I had a '74 Z-1 900 back in the '70's/80's. Just bought a good used 1980 KZ-1000 LTD. Anyone know a good website to get ahold of Kaw parts for it ? Need the chrome front cover for the speedometer, and the chrome LTD passenger grab bar. Thanks for your help !
