Last update March 2004. No change for a few years but looking promising it will on the road this summer. Free road tax from April will make it happen. Touch wood.

Does anyone have a set of decent conditon drilled front discs surplus. If so, please let me know.Thanks

enjoyed this build from the start. Top stuff.

Paul, Once King of Kings is sorted, I would be interested in a right hand caliper for my A1 or a pair or whatever is left over. Thanks

I'll borrow your magic wand when you are done with it.

Looks a lot better. Much nicer finish than powder coat. Looking forward to seeing this one done.

I've got a set of z900 cams which I got in a box with other bits. They're buried deep under piles of other stuff and requires effort to find them but If you don't have joy elsewhere, remind me in a week or so and I'll make the effort to dig them out. Raf

Thanks Nick. PM sent

Or even a LH side caliper if the mounting plate can be turned around which I am told can be done.

I'm upgrading my kz1000 a1 to dual disc and have everything except the right hand side brake caliper. I think the z900 caliper is identical. If you have one surplus to requirement, please let me know. Thanks, Raf

Great write up and lovely looking bike.

I think you have a Lincoln(USA) assembled KZ900 known as A5.

Use a thread file.

Well done , Remember , the selector forks don"t hold it in gear, if its jumping out , it be worn dogs , or needing shimmed, :roll: Now the space issue is sorted, I'm going to do things properly. Engine out and stripdown to give everything a healthcheck. I'm competent with top end rebuilds but ...

Four and a half years later, some progress. hillbilly, I ended up extending the kitchen in my house so the bike ended up in there for a while and then in storage. Anyhow, the problems now solved because I've now got a place from where no one can ever make me move my bikes or better still disturb me ...
