Summary:
Used 1983 Green
Location:
San Bruno, CA
Description:
ORIGINAL UNRESTORED 1983 KAWASAKI KZ1000R EDDIE LAWSON SUPERBIKE REPLICA NEAR PERFECT ALL ORIGINAL! MULTIPLE AWARD WINNING WITH ALL "NOS" BODY PARTS COMING OUT OF MY PRIVATE COLLECTION. THIS IS MY PERSONAL ELR THAT I PUT COUNTLESS HOURS CLEANING AND PREPARING TO BE RIDEN TO LOCAL EVENTS. A REAL HEAD TURNER AND THE NICEST ORIGINAL I HAVE EVER SEEN OR OWNED.MULTIPLE AWARD WINNER JUST WON 1ST PLACE BEST ORIGINAL JAPANESE BIKE. THE JUDGES FROM THE PEBBLE BEACH EVENT WERE BLOWN AWAY AT HOW PERFECT SHE WAS. THIS BIKE UNDERWENT MINOR CLEAN UP/REFRESH AT MY SHOP, GLOBE MOTORCYCLES LIMITED. I USED A FULL SET OF "NOS" BODY WORK SO VERY HARD TO FIND I ONLY HAVE 2 FULL SETS LEFT. I SWAPED OUT THE ENGINE SIDE COVERS WITH "NOS" UNITS AND NEW OEM GASKETS AND SEALS. I HAVE HAD THIS BIKE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN THE ELR THAT I RIDE. SHE LOOKS AND RIDES AS GOOD AS SHE DID BACK IN 1983. THE ENGINE: SERIAL NUMBER KZT00JE041780 THE ENGINE IS THE ORIGINAL THAT CAME WITH THE BIKE. I GET ASKED THIS QUESTION ALL THE TIME, WHY ARE'NT THE ELR ENGINE NUMBERS EVER CLOSE OR SIMILAR TO THE FRAME NUMBERS? THE ENGINE NUMBERS HAVE A SPECIFIC RANGE THEY MUST FALL INTO FOR 1982 AND 1983 KZ1000R's. THIS IS THE ENGINE THAT CAME WITH THE BIKE WHEN SHE WAS NEW AND IS IN THE CORRECT SERIAL NUMBER RANGE FOR A LATE 1983 ELR. THE CARBURETORS WERE COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED ULTRASONICALLY CLEANED, AND PAINTED JUST AS THE FACTORY DID, RESEMBLED AND SYNCHRONIZED. I RE-JETTED THEM WITH #132 MAIN JETS AND RAISED THE JET NEDDLE WITH ONE WASHER TO AID IN RUNNING BETTER WITH THE OPTIONAL COMPETITION BAFFLE.
