You'll have a LOT of fun with that Kaw. Besides kzrider.com, there is also
http://www.cyclemadness.com/forum/. As the name implies the guys there cater to all types of bikes, but they definately lean towards the old Z1/KZs. THE BEST site for parts is
http://www.z1enterprises.com/ Jeff Saunders and the guys at Z1E are extremely knowledgeable and their customer service is SECOND TO NONE! They also have parts, or access to parts, for other Japanese street bikes.
Back to topic:
I'm rebuilding a 1974 Z1A, though more of a streetfighter than a cafe project. Here are the details.
The frame is powdercoated a smoky chrome color. The front end is a complete unit from a 1988 ZX11C. The rear end consists of a boxed aluminum swingarm from a 1983 Suzy GS1100E, along with a pair of custom-made piggybacks from Wilbers. The rear wheel is off a 1988 GSXR1100 using Katana brakes.
The engine is now 1015cc with h-c Wisecos and a pair of Kenny Harmon d-grind cams. The exhaust system is an old Kerker for Kawasaki unit that I had ceramic coated.
All the electrics have been replaced with brand new parts.
I'm sure there are other things I've failed to mention, butif you have questions feel free to ask.
One more thing--------------hopefully I didn't do an extreme hijack of your post.<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>
My dog is concerned about the economy. ALPO is up to 99-cents a can. That's almost $7 in dog money.
