I bought a complete LS2 engine for it, and selling this would allow me to fund that project in one fell swoop.

What do you all think would be a fair price? Maybe I'll just list it on Bring A Trailer and see what happens.

Man if I could only get a trailer there, just a bit too far away.
I had the same model but I am trying to get a fuel injected model going.

Enjoy the Volvo project

It was a hell of a machine, and I'll never find another one as nice/original as this one was. Oh well, on to the CBX now I guess, in tandem with the Volvo. Since I'm sure people are curious, this bike sold for $8,000.

Hopefully in time you will find another KZ1300 to rebuild and we can enjoy watching you put another one together. I hope you don't become a stranger to the site. Good luck with the Volvo project.

Yeah, I'd like to have another one at some point. Maybe one that's not quite as nice/original so I don't feel so bad about making it mine.

There's a lot of talent in those hands of yours and I truly hope you find another KZ1300 to work your magic on. In the meantime, live well and enjoy the kids while they are still young. And don't be a stranger !! Cheers, KB
