    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    Based on the visual clues
    Choke shaft, Flat top hat, Lack of side diaphram cover.

    It narrows down to the following 4 bikes
    KZ1000-K1 LTD (1981)
    KZ1000-K2 LTD (1982)
    KZ1000-M1 CSR (1981)
    KZ1000-M2 CSR (1982)

    I cleaned a rack pf those for a guy who bought a California Highway Patrol Bike at Public Auction.

    Kawasaki - KZ1000p

    They didn't do anything to the Bike except remove the Transceiver from the Radio Box.

    All the lights, siren, decals and lettering were untouched.

    All he had to do to make it street legal was exchange the red lenses facing front for amber.

    Somebody who is not detail oriented has had them open.
    The Fuel Bowls are all mixed-up.

    Good spot Rick! I didn't notice that at first. It looks like Homer S. might have worked on those carbs. Makes you wonder what else might be basackwards in there. It would take a really short screwdriver to get at those drain screws!

    Cool!
    So Rick.....do you think I should maybe swap the bowls before I list them on ebay?
    I have seriously looked at them twice. Once when I opened the box and put them on my shelf and once when I took the pics a couple days ago.
    A SHORT screw driver required indeed!

    I think I'll open them up and see what else is going on inside. I always like it when I can see the guts of something I'm buying so I'm sure the next guy would too.

    Thanks guys for confirming my suspicions.

    Before you list them anywhere, ... move the Bowls.
    The 1 + 2 Bowl drains (Left)
    The 3 + 4 Bowl drains (Right)

    If I had those Carbs, ... I wouldn't stick them on Ebay until after I looked in the back pages of the Legend Cars Racing Magazine.

    Or contacted a Legend Race Car Engine Builder ... directly.
    You should get some good dough.
    $400 - 450 - 500 ... depending on condition.
