    With the exception of the Z1 all of them came cheap.

      This from the guy that had a collection mentioned in another thread a few months ago?????? Cant remember the OP but i remember he said the guy had a barn full of bikes.
      MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
      1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

      NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        The garage space alone makes me envious, let alone the machinery...
        and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

          Rob, my question was based on the Z1R having a black collector box on its 4-1 system
          That and the smooth round curves of the head pipes.

          Under the shifter, is that the giveaway?

            Great buys, all, Joe. The Kawi's (especially the 900 and the H1) are very cool..would make nice resto mods, and the Cooley..congrats. I know you've been on the hunt for some time now. It looks very nice. Glad the search is over. I've followed your progress on the Resto-Mod site and always enjoy your projects.

              I was so mesmerized looking at the Z1(B) that I didn't notice the silver engine.

              There's very little that can be done to a Z1 to make it undesirable.

                              Quick flip for profit without getting your hands dirty equals a job well done.

                              Now you can dump the profit into the Cooley! What are the plans for it? Restoration or resto-mod?

                                Looks to be in nice shape, maybe a bit too nice for a resto-mod.

                                I say flip it for a modest profit, maybe trade some guy the cooley for a couple bikes plus cash and continue the search for a resto-mod candidate.

                                Of course, the challenging part will be finding a guy who is interested in that kind of deal (my pm box is clear).
