Hey guys, new to this forum, Always wanted a vintage Kat and came across '82 1000 for sale in a local paper. Owner wants $2500 US. Mostly original, has 50K on bike, 1100 cc motor currently in it, but he has the original 1000 cc to go with it. Original paint, ripped seat, tach needle fell off, kerker 4 into 1. Pretty much just ridden over the past 30 years.
Is this a good deal? What scares me a little about this restoration project is the availability of things like seat, windscreen, etc. Are there any good parts sources out there for these vintage kats?
Any way to "decode" the VIN to see if it's truly one of these so-called early (and rare?) 1000's?
thanks for the help!!
