How come the seat isn't cut away?  I demand to know how the seat works!

I would love that in my collection.Some dealers used to have cut-away engines in their show rooms,Kawasaki anyways,that would run and turn over, off an electic motor, to show working parts,etc,read where a kid got his finger caught in one and the dealer retired it to the basement.Wonder what year she is,kind of a mish-mash K0-K1-K3 with wrong shocks etc.

Very cool display!

But was it a sandcast??   :D

Looks like the serial number may be missing.

Checked for that, had a bolt between exhausts 2 and 3 bolting the head to the barrels. I may be wrong but i don't think sand casts had that.

Seems kinda dumb that they cut through the side cover.  It just comes off.

I think that muffler must be an HM341 that has just the diffuser cap and not the HM300 pull out baffle.
