Eyeing a 83 kz750, sexy black with the orange/yellow graphics. Just wondering if a kz1000 motor is a direct bolt on? I know you old dogs know more than just triples so I figured I'd ask here instead of joining another forum. |

I have had both, it would be a very tight fit, if not a no-fit. That model year wobbled badly at speed, I bought mine new in 83. Sold it 6 months later, I couldn't get the wobble fixed. I don't think that would be a good plan. |

Must be a KZ750L model, they were pretty much a '82 KZ750R (GPZ) model, I have had two of them. Yup, they wobble at elevated speeds, on the first one I had, if you removed the fairing, it never wobbled. Great bikes, in stock form, faster than an early KZ1000. |

Its in my garage, rode it to work today. It's too small for my frame to be a keeper. It is nice tho and is going to make some kawie guy or newbie Very happy. |

I don't think that would be a good plan. I noticed the same issue on the Yamaha Seca 750 of the same year, maybe it was the fairing, all I know it was not confidence inspiring, to say the least. |
