1983 Kawasaki KZ1000R Eddie Lawson Superbike Replica

1983 Kawasaki KZ1000R Eddie Lawson Superbike Replica with "NOS" (New Old Stock) body work and many other "NOS" parts! Un-restored original condition! Multiple show and award-winning, coming out of my private collection.
Multiple award winner, just won 1st place Best Original Japanese Motorcycle. The judges from the Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance event were blown away at how perfect she is.
This bike underwent minor clean-up/refresh at my shop, Globe Motorcycles Limited. I used a full set of "NOS" body work, side cover emblems, handlebar grips, end caps, etc. These parts are very hard to find. I only have 2 full body sets left. I exchanged the engine side covers with "NOS" units and new OEM gaskets and seals.
I have had this bike for several years and it has been the ELR that I ride (about 200 miles in 5 years). She looks and rides as good as she did back in 1983.
The engine: Serial number KZT00JE041780. This engine is the original that came with the bike. I get asked this question all the time: Why aren't the ELR engine numbers ever close or similar to the frame numbers? The engine numbers have a specific range they must fall into for 1982 and 1983 KZ1000R's. This is the engine that came with the bike when she was new and is in the correct serial number range for a late VIN# 1983 ELR.
With only 1776 miles on it, the engine ran great when I got her, but I opted for her to run a bit better since I wanted to ride to and from shows. I installed a new HD clutch, all new OEM seals, pushrod, and gaskets (it's just what I do). The engine itself has never been painted, so no paint went where it doesn't belong. The engine side covers were replaced with "NOS" units, very hard to find.
The carburetors were completely disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, and painted just as the factory did, reassembled, and synchronized. I re-jetted them with #132 main jets and raised the jet needle with one washer to aid in running better with the larger competition Kerker baffle.
The frame:
The frame and swing arm are all original paint and look better than any of the other original ELR's I have had. The tires have been replaced with Dunlop K400's (K300's are not available). The grips, levers, mirrors, end caps are all "NOS." The seat is all original with no blemishes.
The Kerker KR exhaust is the original unit that I had re-coated to match the original Kal*Gard finish. It is installed with OEM copper gaskets. The Kerker side emblem, the hanger bracket/bushing assembly, and the baffle are all "NOS" ($500). The fuel tank, petcock, fuel gauge sender, fuel cap, side covers, front cowl, rear cowl, front fender, tail light, windshield and rubber seal, emblems, and associated hardware are all "NOS" — over $10,000 worth of unobtainium. A ridiculous amount of NOS/OEM hardware was used. All the "NOS" ELR parts have disappeared from the market. You can only imagine the value this bike will bring in the future.
Tell your wife this is a great investment that will only go up in value, unlike her shoe and handbag collection :). So here is your chance to own the best example of one of the 750-ish 1983 Kawasaki KZ1000R Eddie Lawson Superbike Replicas ever built for North America. It is as close to when it came out of the crate with the exception of the Dunlop K400 tires and a very small amount of patina on the wheels. I will refinish the wheels to exact OEM specs for the new caretaker at my cost if he or she prefers "NOS" looking wheels (a very expensive process). I will for sure cry when she sells, but I am blessed to have a few more ELR's.
I have owned more than 20 ELR's. I have the largest inventory of ELR parts, so bid with confidence. This bike will not disappoint. Please feel free to contact me with any questions: 954-816-0806 Bob. Please come see her first if you have any doubts. I have been riding, racing, fixing, restoring, and collecting special bikes since graduating from American Motorcycle Institute "AMI" in Daytona Beach, Florida in 1980.
This ELR belongs in a museum, so don't miss out. I restored and preserved more bikes than I can count and have many satisfied owners around the world with giant smiles on their faces every time they look at what they purchased from me.
The last 2 ELR's I sold (a 1982 and a 1983) went to Japan. They both had NOS body parts on all original bikes with low miles and sold for $28,500 and $36,000, and just not as perfect as this one.
The original tool kit, owner's manual, and 2 Kawasaki keys come with the bike.
If you are looking for a less expensive ELR, I have 2 others I will be offering for sale, just not as perfect but could be with a bit of love. Feel free to ask, you can contact me with any questions.
