'75 KZ400 twin

Saw it on the way home for the recyclers today & the price was right & it ran good. Needs a little TLC but mostly only for cosmetic stuff It does need a set of rubbers for the carb intake to the airbox & the mufflers are full of holes. A set of JC Whitney special pea-shooters will dress her up right. It has new tyres , wheel bearings & brakes. Tank has been sealed & the carbs were just rebuilt about a month ago. No dents or dings & the side panels are 100% intact. Can't go wrong for 300 clams

Here's a quick crappy pic of it next to my 2 other 'ponies'

well on the other side of my 'slow pokey' is a 360T only 40cc down and about the same HP Now the Enfield is -10 to15 hp but oh so much fun definitely wins in the 'smiles per gallon' race

iffn ya have hazy lenses (brake lights ect) use turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover on em.

as far as exhausts the closest to factory around short of a good original set would be the mac exhausts 2 into 2 system

Appreciate the tip but the MAC's don't look real nice (original) & they are pricey!!!! If it comes down to it I'll get a set of slip on megaphones (read JC whitney cheapies) and wrap the headpipes in that fiberglass heattape, or even cheaper yet some silver high heat spray paint

Dang I am cheap!!!

Well it's looking a whole lot better now & I managed to get a hold of some hard to find parts to make it complete. I'll try to get a better pick when I can
