Started riding in 1975 and bought this bike new in '76:

I eventually put a Pacifico fairing on it. Jump forward 30 years and I have gotten back into bikes. I recently picked up this '76 KZ900 LTD:

Love it, but would like to take a trip on it so I found this whole set including WJ IV, lowers, bags and trunk (which needs a lid, if anyone has one laying around):

Looking forward to luggin' this 600lb. beast around....
 
Welcome to the forum. I just love the looks of a mid-70's KZ! Several lids listed on FleaBay and not very expensive either. Are you going to keep it white or match the bike?
 
At some point the bike will get a cosmetic restoration, including a correct paint job. I was going to see how the white looks with the current color before deciding on painting the Vetter stuff.

What a great set of photos. Wasn't the KZ 900 an original CHIPS bike when done in the police issue? I think they started on 900's and then the police bikes ended up with the 1000's.

Love your set and welcome to the forum. Please feel free to share your ideas and experiences. If you need anything please send me a note.
 
Well thank you for the welcome. Yeah, the KZs saw a pretty long stint as chp bikes and were on the show.
