  • I had a customer call me one night with a KZ1000 for sale with a bunch of parts. On a cold winter night my son and a friend and I went down to see what this was all about. We started looking through the stuff and found there were almost enough parts to build two bikes. So we struck a deal and discovered drywall buckets outside, full of parts encased in ice. We just had to take on the challenge of building the Pit Bull Rescue as it came with a title and we hate to see them go into the ground. These bikes are starting to get hard to find. The name "Pit Bull Rescue" came to us as the seller had to put his pit bull dogs away in order for us to come look at the stuff and we waded through the landmines the whole time we were loading the parts. An experience to be remembered!

      Tahir, we're not really set up to do Yamaha, Honda, etc. We have to concentrate on Kawasaki as that's our specialty. We're very back logged on restoration work also. I'm trying to think of someone to send you to.

      $2500 reserve? Someone got a fantastic bargain on the '78 KZ1000 PIT BULL RESCUE if one only met the reserve price. Mind you, it is now July, 2022. Worth much more now.

    It's annoying when you crack the throttle that many times, and it serves no purpose in my forty years of riding.

      @@Johnnysvintage Thank You for your response, and on the flip side you all do a great job restoring bikes. I would love to see restoring some old GoldWings and Valkyries if you can. Even though this may sound strange, I watch you because a buddy of mine died on a 1976 KZ 900 when he couldn't handle the power of the bike and wrapped it around a tree.
