1970s Kawasaki KV 50 find

[junk4cash]

Picked up this ol girl this morning. Not sure what year but the tank was originally red. I was able to use citrustrip to remove some of the rattle can black. Missing seat and a few other parts. Probably going to sell. Neat one though!

Member @Gatecrasher seems to know everything there is to know about the MT1/KV75.

It's a 1976-1980 KV75. You can tell by the seat latches. Don't know where you got the "KV50" from? I mean it even says "75" right on the muffler.

I have a seat for it if interested.
