Used Kawasaki z440 h1 twin 1982. No reserve read description.

Seller Description

Due to a spinal and pelvic injury I can no longer work on the bike or ride, so I am selling the virtually finished restoration project I intended as my ride.This is a bottom up and sympathetic clubman style rebuild of a genuine Japanese built classic 1982 Kawasaki twin Z440 H1. These bikes are not often seen for sale in Australia. I have kept the bike standard other than a custom made seat using the original base, clubman bars, carb pods, Dunstal upswept mufflers and a custom paint job.The z mark is well known in the classic Kawasaki range. This mid ranged twin with good handling is very easy to use in traffic or on longer rides. This has been an interesting two year project of a bike that had been leaning against a fence in a country Victoria farm for many years. The pictures tell the story.Many, many, thousands of dollars and hours have been spent on this bike, so please bid accordingly. This bike will sell, no reserve.The carbs need new seals and rejetting before it can be ridden. Good, strong spark but carbs leaking.
