I get asked about installation of replacement fuel lines and filters on the KZ750 Twins alot. Such a simple thing, but the topic has many fine points, and I wanted to provide as much detail as possible about my preferred method of installation. But first, a few points: I know many people like clear fuel [...]
This article is an edited version of a KTOF post by member “AtLarge”, about his 1983 KZ750-K1 LTD (reprinted/edited with his permission). The original can be found here: “I call this the Moog mod.” I needed replacement intake air ducts, because I had one good intake duct and one off of something else. As I’m [...]

My philosphy on replacement headlights for the 750 is pretty straight-forward: I want to get a reasonable amount of light (unlike the stock bulb), but… Don’t want to spend a bunch of money on a fancy housing and H4 bulbs or an HID system, and… Don’t want to draw too much power from the old [...]
These twins do vibrate a bit, despite the best effort of the balancer. And the stock grips that came with my 750′s were firm, with almost no vibration absorption.
