Sounds like he took quite a beating from a $1300.00 initial cost down to $250.00, but this is the internet after all  ;)  Good Luck on your project.  Maybe local Sean Barney will give me a great deal sometime  ;D ;D

Sean actually hoping YOU will give him the buddy deal!  Me too!
whoa there guys!...I only give bro deals to total strangers.  Guys who own multiple Kawasaki triples get NOTHING! :D :D
Hopefully your talking about Steve Sean cuz I only have 3 , but there just little ones, no mighty 500's or 750's-----yet   :D
oh no! 350's and 400's are nearly as desireable, especially when I have none!

Thanks everyone!
Well this bike is going to be my "beater bike" for the time being. I'm going to repair the front brake and sort out the wiring issues (turn signals, brake, and horn) and just leave the rest pretty much as is. I might fix it up later but as you can see in the picture below I need to finish my 1971 750 first!

OUCH! That hurt, Sean.  And after all this time we've shared the love of Honda and Kawasaki vintage bikes, getting drunk and oogling hot girls!
So disappointed...

Great buy for that price. In the CT/NY area that bike would have gone over a grand easy. Everyone around here thinks they have a "Rare" bike for sale. Good luck with whatever you do with it.

Well I ended up getting the bike for $250 and even though it sat for 5 years I got it running yesterday. There's a lot of non stock parts on it but I'm happy with it. Thanks for all of the input guys!
Good Deal!

You might even get by with cutting the tubes back to stock length, removing the spacer, and tapping the cut off tubes for the top caps?

At any rate a good deal!

And just to clarify.....you didn't buy it from a buddy anyway, did you? Your buddy just knew about it? Or maybe I just misunderstood your orig post?

Nice find, get it rideable and enjoy it. Parts will come along as you find them and decide you want them.

Screaming deal. I paid 600 and 300 CAD for my two '78s, and they sure weren't running! I might've been able to get away with just a quick carb cleaning to fire it up, but I knew I was taking em right down anyway :D

Yea it wasn't my friends bike. My friend sold his bike to the guy I got this 750 off of. I couldn't believe I got it for that price. But it would take a LOT to get it back to original. I'm just glad I have something to ride while I redo my other 750. My goal is to put as little as possible into it and just enjoy it. Once the other bike is done maybe I'll work on this.
