Used 1983 Kawasaki KZ1000R EDDIE LAWSON SUPERBIKE REPLICA Used 998L

Seller 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 KZT00JE[hidden information] 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.
WITH ONLY 1789 MILES ON IT, THE ENGINE RAN GREAT WHEN I GOT HER BUT I OPTED FOR HER TO RUN A BIT BETTER SINCE I WANTED TO RIDE IT FROM TIME TO TIME. I INSTALLED A NEW HD CLUTCH, ALL NEW OEM SEALS, CLUTCH PUSHROD, AND GASKETS (ITS JUST WHAT I DO). THE ENGINE HAS NEVER BEEN PAINTED SO THERE IS NO PAINT WHERE IT DOES NOT BELONG. THE ENGINE SIDE COVERS WERE REPLACED WITH "NOS" UNITS, VERY HARD TO FIND.
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.
THE FRAME:
THE FRAME AND SWING ARM HAVE ORIGINAL PAINT AND LOOK BETTER THEN ANY OF THE OTHER ORIGINAL ELR's I HAVE EVER HAD.
THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACE WITH DUNLOP K400's (K300'S ARE NOT AVAILABLE). THE GRIPS, LEVERS, MIRRORS, , END CAPS ARE ALL "NOS".THE SEAT IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH NO BLEMISHES.
THE KERKER KR EXHAUST IS THE ORIGINAL UNIT THAT I HAD RE COATED TO MATCH THE ORIGINAL KAL-GARD FINISH AND INSTALLED IT WITH OEM COPPER GASKETS. THE KERKER SIDE EMBLEM, THE HANGER BRACKET/BUSHING ASSEMBLY, AND THE LARGE COMPETITION BAFFLE ARE ALL NOS ($500). THE FUEL TANK, PETCOCK, FUEL GUAGE SENDER, FUEL CAP, SIDE COVERS, FRONT COWL, REAR COWL, FRONT FENDER, TAIL LIGHT, WIND SHIELD AND RUBBER SEAL, EMBLEMS, AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE ARE ALL "NOS" NEW OLD STOCK, OVER $7500 WORTH OF UNOBTAINIUM. A MODEST AMOUNT OF NOS/OEM HARDWARE WAS USED.
TELL YOUR WIFE THIS IS A GREAT INVESTMENT THAT WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE UNLIKE HER SHOE AND HANDBAG COLLECTION :).
SO HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN THE BEST EXAMPLE OF 1 OF THE ORIGINAL 1200 OR LESS (NO ONE HAS THE EXACT US NUMBER) 1983 KAWASAKI KZ1000R EDDIE LAWSON SUPERBIKE REPLICA'S EVER BUILT FOR THE US. IT IS EXACTLY AS IT WAS WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE CRATE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DUNLOP K400 TIRES AND A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF PATINA ON THE WHEELS. I WILL REFINISH THE WHEELS TO EXACT OEM SPECS FOR THE NEW CARETAKER AT MY COST IF HE OR SHE PREFERS "NOS" LOOKING WHEELS (A VERY EXPENSIVE PROCESS). I WILL FOR SURE CRY WHEN IT SELLS BUT I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A FEW MORE ELR'S.
I HAVE OWNED MORE THEN 20 ELR's/SUPERBIKE REPLICAS IN THE 15 YEARS AND HAVE THE LARGEST INVENTORY OF ELR PARTS, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE. THIS BIKE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS [hidden information] BOB. PLEASE COME SEE HER FIRST IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS. I HAVE BEEN RIDING, RACING, FIXING, RESTORING, AND COLLECTING SPECIAL BIKES SINCE GRADUATING FROM AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE INSTITUTE "AMI" IN DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA IN 1980.
THIS ELR BELONGS IN A MUSEUM SO DON'T MISS OUT. I RESTORED AND PRESERVED MORE BIKES THEN I CAN COUNT AND HAVE MANY SATISFIED OWNERS AROUND THE WORLD WITH GIANT SMILES ON THERE FACES EVERY TIME THEY LOOK AT WHAT THE BOUGHT. THE LAST 2 ELR'S I SOLD (A 1982 AND A 1983) WENT TO JAPAN. THEY BOTH HAD NOS BODY PARTS ON ALL ORIGINAL BIKES WITH LOW MILES AND SOLD FOR $28,500 AND $36,000. THEY WERE NOT A PERFECT AS THIS ONE. THAT BUYER WANTED THIS 83 AND I WOULD NOT SELL IT BACK IN NOV. (VERY SORRY SHUJI) SO NOW ITS YOUR CHANCE TO GRAB IT.
THE ORIGINAL TOOL KIT, OWNERS MANUAL, AND 2 KEYS COME WITH THE BIKE. THE FIRST BUYER TO HIT THE BUY FROM THE 2 ELRS I HAVE FOR SALE WILL GET MY AUTOGRAPHED CUSTOM PAINTED 1983 BELL HELMET. THE SECOND ONE WILL END UP WITH A CUSTOM PAINTED 1983ISH BELL HELMET THAT WE WILL HAVE TO SEND TO EDDIE AND WAIT FOR HIM TO SIGN IT.
LETS KEEP E-BAY A GREAT PLACE TO DO BUSINESS AND ONLY BID IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUY IT.
$1000 DEPOSIT AND THE BALANCE WITHIN 3 BUSINESS DAYS IN CASH OR BANK WIRE. I CAN STORE THE BIKE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND HELP ARRANGE SHIPPING
