‘78 Kz1000 w/RC Turbo Kit

Been Around the Block
I’ve been keeping this bike out of the limelight as I’ve had a LOT going on in my garage. Time to fix that.

Little back story: I’ve wanted a turbo 900/1000 for years. I bought pieces/parts of turbo kits so I could assemble my own complete kit but sold off all of it when I needed funds. I saw this “kit” on KzRider but the ad was a bit confusing. I wasn’t able to tell if the seller was selling the kit or the bike with the turbo kit. I asked the seller and he was selling the kit for the asking price and would throw in the bike for an extra $500. The bike has a clean and clear title, mind you. I eventually called the seller, we talked a good while several times, and finally worked out a deal. Only issue…the bike was in NYC and I’m in the Mid-West. I had the bike picked up and payed for by a good friend in NYC in Oct 2025. He stored it until my shipper could pick it up in late November. Fast-forward to mid-February when it was finally delivered!

Fast-forward again until last week when I was able to finally get it onto my lift and give it a good once over.

I plan on documenting the rebuild on several forums via pictures as well as on YT with videos once I can get time to edit them appropriately.

On to the pics!
