2021-03-04 Look What Followed Me Home - 81 Kz1300

 

So then..

My bud Ray calls...."I just spent some of your money!"
Me "Fucking Great! What?"
Ray "1980 KZ1300, 14k miles, unmolested."
Me "UhOh, how clean, how much dinero?"

Realize that Ray and I go way back, he's done 2 1960's BMW's, a 79 Kz1300, a 1981 Honda CBX, a 87 ATK....
Still, well, you know....

Ray "So it's really clean." ....avoiding the question...
Ray "It's close by, too."
Me "Ray?"
Ray "I already told the guy it's sold..."
Me "Good, I trust you... Ray, how much?"
Ray "700 dollars!"
Me "OH GAWD that is freaking GREAT!"

Here's some pics from Ray's POS phone...

Much different than my 79...

This looks about the same...

The seat is very different... and the tank badge looks different too. That's my ATK in the background...

Damn.. this one looks clean. Forks not leaking, original plug wires, switch gear looks great. 

Even the ignition resistor pack looks good..

OMG that tank is ugly. Is this the stock tank badging and color?

Did 1980 Kz1300 come with chromed covers?

So the next rodeo begins.... 

 

Many Manyt Many Thanks to my bud Ray. KZ1300 tech beyond Par...

 

 

Turns out it's a 1981 model A3 made in 12/1980.
