The bike you see above is the personal bike of wiredgeorge. It is a 1979 KZ1000E1 and was totally rebuilt about 3 years ago. The bike is in great shape and could be ridden ANYWHERE including across the country. The bike wears a different windshield today and a genuine Kawasaki accessory rack. There are a few small dings in the paint from normal wear and tear. The engine has less than 5K miles since being totally rebuilt and the carburetors were recently cleaned and rebuilt. The bike has near-new tires and a new battery. The seat has new foam and has been recovered for comfort and the pipes are 4 into 2 ceramic coated. The rear shocks are Progressive Suspension. MUST SELL QUICKLY. Use the contact form on the site if you are interested. Asking $2500 (was 3100) and the bike is on eBay and Craigslist. No surprises with this bike. I can help with shipping. wg

NEWS FLASH! wiredgeorge Motorcycle Carburetors now offers MORE payment options and accepts payment by Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Discover via our processing partner, ProPay. Of course, we will still accept money orders from our US customers. When you wish to use a credit or debit card, we will send an invoice through our processor, ProPay, and they will provide a secure link used for payment completion. wiredgeorge Motorcycle Carburetors will not see or store cardholder information; we never see this information. You NEVER need a ProPay account to complete payment. Due to technical issues, we are sometimes going to use PayPal to send invoices to our US customers as well. We still use PayPal as our only means of payment for overseas customers. Thanks! wg
On-Bike Tuning! wgcarbs.com offers on-bike tuning and road testing for sets we sell or rebuild for specific years/models. See our Carburetor Sales and Carburetor Rebuilding web pages to see if your motorcycle is one where we can perform this service.
About 2.5 hours labor
Synchronize
Set the idle mixture
Set idle speed
Check for fuel leaks
Road test to verify operation
When we perform this service, we will guarantee your carburetor assembly will perform properly when installed on your motorcycle. See Our Gaurantee page for details. This service is only $65. Please specify ON BIKE TUNING in the Comments field of your Customer Order form to order this service.
If you do not specify on-bike tuning when you order or it isn't available for your bike make/model, then expect to do some tuning yourself. We do set the fuel level, bench sync and set mixture screws to factory specification so the bike should start and be in a state where it is easily tuned. It may need to have the idle mixture set, idle speed set and the carburetors synchronized before full performance and economy are achieved. If you can NOT do this yourself, take the bike to a shop that you trust that can perform these tuning functions.
We REBUILD vintage motorcycle carburetors. If you don't see your make/model on our CARBURETOR REBUILDING page, use our CONTACT US form to ask for a quote.
We SELL motorcycle carburetors. We have many rebuildable cores in stock but if we don't see your motorcycle make/model on our CARBURETOR SALES page, we can purchase a core and sell you a remanufactured assembly. Use our CONTACT US link to ask for a quote.

To receive this rebate, the member will need to scan his/her current military ID and send it to us via email attachment to validate his service.
Firefighters and Law Enforcement personnel can also take advantage of our service appreciation rebate of 15 percent if they serve in the United States. Terms are the sames as for military personnel. Firefighters and law enforcement personnel must also scan their active ID card and attach it to an email to recieve this discount to verify their service.
An added feature to our appreciation program is that the qualifying individual's work order will not be entered into our normal work queue but work will be done on a priority basis.
