When I was growing up, my uncles were always working on one of those Kaws. Riding on the back with one of them was my first exposure to motorcycles. I have a fondness for those bikes for that reason.
Its fairly cheap for the condition. I'd buy that sucker if I were you. :beers:

I remember when Doug Domokos, "The Wheelie King," (RIP - 1955-2000) used to do exhibitions on KZ1300's back when they were new... one of the parts of his show was to break the tail light.

Here's a couple of cool videos of Doug riding a wheelie up, then down, San Francisco's famous zig-zagging Lombard Street. Not on a KZ1300 though.

One word "BULLETPROOF"
We are looking for a motor, well maybe, if we can work out a way of converting the shaft to chain. Why you ask?.
To fit into our F1 sidecar. :shock: :motorsmile:

Needless to say w/ case damage, not worth fixin.

That and by the time we got back with a truck to pick it up it was gone not really worth looking for at that point!
