Kawasaki 1300 model designtions ?

Hi Folks,
I'm finding a lot of conflicts as I try to identify a ZG1300. autoevolution.com specs a ZG1300 as a fuel injected six speed produced from '84 to '89.
Does any one here actually own a ZG1300?
TIA
Bill
What is the conflict with identifying the ZG 1300. The photo's that Mathh   posted is the ZG 1300. The side covers on the ZG  still use the words Z 1300 , the same wording as the 1979 bikes used --minus the letter 6 and the words " Digital Fuel Injection " . But as the 1984 bikes were a significant up grade from the 1979 bikes , the new bike got the  " G " added . The service manual , published by Kawasaki " Second Edition: July 19, 1985 " on page 9-6 shows  Model Identification , a left side and a right photo of the same bike that Mathh posted a couple of days back. On page 9-7 "Specifications " it says ZG 1300-A1 . On the cover of the same manual , the same bike as Mathh red bike  with the words  " Kawasaki Service Manual. -model Z1300G . 1984 to 1989. "

Well… I did type a whole story until I made a mistake hahaha. I’ll try again later this week.

But I don’t know if you know this site : CMSNL.com. You can type KZ1300 or ZN1300 or ZG1300 in the search option and it will direct you to their part number lists (with exploded views. Enjoy.

Hello everyone, 

Very happy to finally join the club. I always lusted after the '79 Luminous Starlight Blue KZ1300 and after 5 years of struggling to find one here in India. I finally imported one from Japan and it has arrived home!
I had a few questions about the origins of the bike
Frame Number :  KZT30A-00176*
Engine Number : KZT30AE00172*

A very close match of under 50 units which indicates a very nice original "matching numbers" machine. 
I know it was originally a North American (Exported back to Japan and now in India) bike since it's a KZ and the smaller tank but, my VIN/Emissions sticker on the Right side frame is missing, my Speedo also is in Kmph. Is there a registry where I can find the exact origins of my bike? I did a VIN check mentioned here and it shows nothing. 
Also, was the emissions sticker same for the US and Canadian bikes? Does anyone make re-productions for it as I would like to make the bike fully original now that I have it. 




Very happy to be astride my KZ!

Vintage BGM 6-1, not a fan. Would have liked Standard pipes! 

The KZ1300 joins my other 6 Cylinder bikes, two 1979 CBX100s and one SC03 1980 CBX. 
Benelli Sei next to complete the Legendary trio of the greatest 6-Cylinder road bikes ever made. 
 

Welcome to the group. Don't be afraid to post pics of the other 6's. We love eye candy !!

Thank you! 
Here's my 79 in Candy Glory Red, one of my daily's as the other ones are getting restored. 

 
 
 
 

Here's my SC03 1980, always found the Black CBX to be the sexiest, proper muscle! 



2nd 1979 which is getting restored to Perseus Silver! 



Some special mentions to my GL1000! 1976 in the very rare Sulfur Yellow.
