Bad day ,then watch Johnnie's vids. Any of them and smile all day,, thank you so much johnie.

I have several of these 70's KZ's and I have Lithium Ion batteries in all of them... Started buying them in 2012 and still every one of them is still good. and no problems with storage.

I've seen a few videos and whenever he says "nice", this means "absolutely impeccable period correct stuff" ;)

Investing $1400 on the body set would have been the best investment as it would have increased the value EASY twice that much. However to each their own..... I have several of these bikes so I'm just Old School and like to keep them original. Nice Work Johnny as ALWAYS....!!

Johnny you may be the most knowledgeable Zed 1-900 resto man in the business you know these bikes and do pro level work.

My Dad managed a Kawasaki dealership in the 70's and I would help out on the weekends. This was my dream bike as a kid. You guys do awesome work, top notch craftsmen.

Simply the best looking motorcycle ever built in any period. The Z1/KZ900.

You deserve your own show on cable this guys personality is so homely i bet hes a grandfather

This man loves Kawasaki bikes. A true professional.

Loving that 16 inch rear chromed wheel.

I have a passion for motorcycles too. Restoring them would be my dream job. I thought about buying and restoring them for resale, but I'd probably have a hard time parting with each and every one.

I had a green 1976 model as well. It was a beauty! I triangulated the frame tubes from the neck back by welding in short connecting tubes between the factory three tubes, about 12 inches back from the neck. Love that 4 into 1 header exhaust and the sound is intoxicating. Especially at red line! I eventually bought a new 1988 ZX10 which I still own and recently rebuilt fuel system by overhauling the carbs, new fuel pump, cleaned up the gas tank innards, etc. Runs like a jet but I do wish I had kept the good ol' green 76 KZ900. Beautiful restorations guys!

Hi mate, enjoy watching all these rebuilds of the kawasaki Z1's, KZ900'S and all those other beauties. Your passion and knowledge of these bikes is masterful. I live in Australia but hopefully in the next year or so i will be visiting the USA with my family. First place i will visit is your workshop in Ohio. Buying a rebuilt Kawasaki Z1 or KZ900 by your masterful hands will be a priority. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

vance-hines fits paint, IMHO, thanks for sharing Johnny.

Great Job Johnny as always, that baby sure sounds nice with the V&H pipe.

Fantastic Johnny, always enjoy these vids...

Bike looks cool, great paint job.

Fantastic rebuild , love that paint job . I even like all the bikes that are in the background :) especially that Z 650 , rebuild that one please John .

I have one of these in the Diamond green color scheme. Great to see the front fender on the right way....

Damn I love your videos, Johnny!

Beautiful bike very well restored, I personally also restored the painting with original scheme.

Love your videos and your work

I was so looking forward to the classic green paint job but the work you did on her looks top notch as always. Congrats to Brian for his choice of classic ride and builder. That 4 into 1 is wicked! Ohh let Daddy show off a little bit. LOL

Very very amazing job bro :-)

Very nice job!

Like. What. You. Do. I. Like. The. 650s. Had. One. Wrecked. It. And. Kz. 1000. Cold. It. Back. In. The. Late. 80s. Want. Another. One

Thats a cool bike.

Very nice

nice build. I would go with the green paint, VH header, oil cooler, the reflectors are a must. (Yes I do have a hang-up about frame reflectors.)

Nice I just bought a 2018 Kawasaki z 900 RS and it is sweet

nice color

I want this one.then that one.ive sat with a photo since 14 . now 53. A. Z 9oo then you pull a kz 900. then show z1oo Love them all still stuck. Going to get one soon in england

Very nice! If it were mine id metal fill the pits though before i powder coated it.

Nice

✔️👍🏻

The purpose of reserve is to remind you that you need to fill up, and the reserve will get you there. Sorry Johnny not a good idea, and I'm speaking as a 40+ years of riding. I ride mine almost every day and I am definitely not a weekend warrior.

Another Great Build, I'm sorry he didn't go with the Green ...but adding another 1500 on, would probably put it over the top in value....It's Beautiful anyway....

Lost interest in the Z when I saw the old cessna. '56 172 maybe. Or 182. Like flying the old ones cause the panel was lower. Hope you are restoring it too. Love the old Zs, just love old airplanes more.

I truly admire your work with these classics. Do you ever do any GPz's ?

Nice Police 1000 @14:56 - CHP...LAPD...other??? Question for Johnnysvintage; can a 76 KZ900 be mildly backdated to look like a 75 Z1b? I'm guessing the most obvious thing visually is the rear tail section and tail light (rounded vs square)

Love watching all your videos Johnny. I've had a couple LTD1000's and a Z1R. I was wondering if you could tell me how much it is to have a frame powder coated. I want to do my 78 GS1000.

👍

I woulda hadda go with the stock paint. May never get that chance again. The old stuff throw that in a box.

Always looking to learn from you, super video again. The motor covers; dud you have them rechromed or polished? Can you recommend someone to polish them if that is what you did?

What would the cost be to restore a 76 KZ900 for riding again

I'm thinking about buying a 1978 kz900 in that green color. it runs but probably needs referb. How can i contact your to start the process?

Super job! I had that bike in green. Put 100K miles on it my first year and had it up to 120mph down the way to Ensenada. Johnny, is it possible to put '74/'75 carbs on the KZ900 so it performs like the Z-1? I was unhappy to discover I should have purchased a '75/'74 when I took a '75 on the road and noticed even just in the parking lot it was noticeably faster than my KZ900. Thanks!

How much will cost a resto like that? My model is a 79 650 SR D2 I love your channel so straight forward Take care jhonnys Big hugs from Santo Domingo

What would a restoration like that cost and what is the bike worth after the work?

Where did you get the 16 inch rear wheel rim from what company....???

Where are you located Johnny?

Johnny how much did this job cost be got a 1979 Ltd

I just brought a 1976 KZ900 and I need a starter. Would you know of a parts store where I can get one, part number: 21163_004?

Nice bike .....except that paint doesn't do the restoration justice

คาวามาแต่ละเที่ยวภาษี(ถนน)เรารับข้อเสนออีกแล้วเหรอ

Wanna. Buy. Akz. Let. Me. No

Why only comments cant show my 75 Z1B

I like how you use "nice" so many times, but I think it would be amusing if you substituted these synonyms for nice. cordial ducky fair friendly good kind lovely okay superior swell welcome winning admirable amiable approved attractive becoming charming commendable considerate copacetic courteous decorous delightful favorable fine and dandy genial gentle gracious helpful ingratiating inviting kindly nifty obliging peachy pleasant pleasurable polite prepossessing seemly simpatico unpresumptuous well-mannered winsome

Shame about the paint job.

Paint really needs to be done. Its not attractive and plus it’s in really bad shape. Coulda been nice but its kinda a flop with the paint job and that exhaust

I can't listen to this whole video because I'm sick and tired of counting the "and what not's" this clown says! lol 3:)

God, your selling scrap for huge money ,and idiots buy it. Fools and their money ,,,,,easily parted .
