Hello,
My name is Leonard Rice. I live in SW New Mexico USA. I recently purchased a ’79 750 twin. It was a project bike and came with a fairly stripped parts bike, manuals and a couple boxes of new and used spare parts. I was a heavy equipment and vehicle mechanic in another life. I have worked on ATVs but this is my first time diving into motorcycles. Hoping to get it running so I can run the rural highways and roads around here. Just what I needed was another half finished project.
Welcome aboard Leonard. Looks salvageable to me and with your experience should be road worthy in no time. Good luck!
Hello Leonard and welcome to our site.
It does look quite a decent twin you have there. A 1979 model is most likely to be a B4 although it could be a B3. However after saying that the front end looks to be B1 or B2 as it has a leading caliper which was trailing on the B3 and B4. Maybe the spare frame has been a donor of parts and is an earlier model. You can look in the Model Identification section for frame numbers or alternatively give us them to us and we can clarify this for you.
Enjoy your new found 2 wheeled world and keep us posted of your antics. If you need any help please shout up.
Cheers

Ah that kinda makes sense now.
My guess is the frame on the rolling chassis you have will be a 79 B4. Do you have the papers for both bikes?
No papers at all, just a death certificate which is worthless. The serial on the good bike is KZ750B0007xx. Motor # is within 20 or so, so I think it is the original. Has about 22k miles on it.
I can’t remember what number is on the rolling chassis.
It will be a pain but there are a couple ways I can get it titled. Just couldn’t turn it down for $150 for the whole mess.
