The vendor has said this bike has just been beautifully restored and is ready for the next 50 years of life. Runs and rides excellent. All areas of the bike have been either been rebuilt or replaced. Fully rebuilt engine, with re-seated valves, new piston rings, etc.
The frame has been powder coated along with every other piece that is Black on this bike, including the battery box, foot pegs, triple clamps, main and side stand.
New tapered steering head bearings have now upgraded the original ball bearings. Swing arm bushings have been upgraded to needle bearings. Beautifully repainted bodywork. Hand painted pinstripes. All pieces were sanded to bare then repainted. The tank is rust free and not coated. Presents as close to perfect, without a scratch visible, as if the bike was brand new. It presents in its original 1976 paint scheme.
The list of new parts on this bike is many; 630 QR chain, intake boots, cables, battery, blinker assemblies, headlight ring, grips, seat, original Kawasaki mirrors, wiring harness, right and left hand handlebar switches. Wheels are respoked, rims are rechromed and not aftermarket, new sealed wheel bearings, front hub powder coated rear hub polished.
All of the chrome has been redone and is fresh, this includes both fenders. The fenders are not cheap reproductions. The battery box is original and uncut, hard to find today.

Gauges have been restored by Z-Resto and function and look like brand new. It has a brand-new Dyna S electronic ignition and uses the original coils that have new resistor end caps. The charging has been upgraded to a solid-state system, which works as it should and reads 14. 5v when running. No wires have been cut or spliced to do this upgrade. The caliper has new seals and is rebuilt with a brand-new piston. The front master cylinder is new along with all new brake lines and hoses.
