Not as far as I am aware.

You will probably be aware that depending which Z1R model - some are 18 inch and some are 19's

Mine are still on the Z1R.

The guy who does my tyres has remarked they can be a bit of a faff to fit!

Never ran them without so cannot comment on suitability.

Cheers

It does look great. -Twin discs is a bonus too.

I would be tempted to go a stage further and fit z1b side panel badges.

Watching with interest - I have always liked the Z1B - one of the best paint schemes on any bike.

Good luck!

Yes mine did exactly what Pauljac says - around 1990 when the unit was, I suppose around 12 years old. After a run out, the battery had boiled dry and was too hot to handle. With adverse affect on Chrome exhaust! Acquired a modern replacement in since then & everything ok - I think I got the rep...

I am a bit of a traditionalist with the batteries I use on the old z's. This is because I have bought the same type - 6 cell that you can top up like came with the bike originally- now for over 35 years - and never had a battery stranded me & let me down. When they are on their way out they simp...

Not sure what bike we are talking but I would have said 7k for a bike tyre is not bad.

I had a C1 for about 5 years and it is an excellent piece of kit and Very Fast Indeed. Kawasaki brought it out about 5 years too late as the earlier B models could not compete with the fireblade and are not quite the ticket. I dropped the front fork height by about 10mm on mine and this seemed to he...

The wheels are fantastic - I need to try something similar with mine.
So the tool you used was just a giant tooth brush - Is it merely hand held? - ie not an electric giant tooth brush

I suspect the main factors here are patience and elbow grease

Well done anyhow - great results

That 500 is a beauty

I had a 400 from new in 1979 and I thought that was quite fast so the 500 must be fantastic.

I must admit there are times I could be tempted back to the dark side!

Similar to this?

Calipers and torque arm should be easy to find as they come up on Ebay fairly regular Caliper here for instance http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-Z1000-Z-1000-A-Series-Rear-Back-Brake-Braking-Caliper-/311696549643?hash=item48928fe70b:g:P4AAAOSwLF1X2tM3 The rest might take a bit longer to track down

Can only agree.
Very helpful - bought some bits last year - definitely knows his stuff !
