Spotted this Z1100R in car park , having chatted to the owner he uses this on a daily basis and has another endurance style Zed has promised to email pics .
Not yet member but will work on him.

Well received the pics as promised and some info about this bike

Hi - here is my Harris kawasaki. It has an f1 race frame with a z1000 mk11 motor. It is bored to 1200cc with 11:1 pistons, twin plug conversion, high lift cams, ported head, oversize titanium valves, welded and lightened crank (by 6.5lb). It also,has a race alternator which is only 40mm diameter and retains the starter clutch. A 'j' type clutch basket is fitted along with dyna 2000 coils and ignition. keihin cr 35mm special carbs are fitted and a lightweight li -ion battery. Instruments are motogadget from Germany and keyless ignition plus a lightweight wiring loom.
Ohlins suspension features front and rear. Modern size. Pvm wheels and disk's but with oldy world ap Lockheed calipers.
I wanted a cafe racer with a 70's endurance racer theme in the style of the kvas kool kawasakis, but with a modern twist.
Also pictured is my modernised gpz1100. This has similar mods to the motor but slightly lower compression at 10.5:1.
Hope you like them .

Double drool, particularly the Harris framed one

Both top quality, love the 1100R.

Beautiful bikes.
Though don't think you've really put much thought into how you're going to fit panniers and luggage racks!
Where did you get the narrow alternator?
I do track days on my Z1100R and the standard one gives ground clearance problems but I want to keep an alternator and starter for road use.

I will drop him an email later today and will askhim where he got the alternator .

the race alternator is from Electrex , they only put out a decent charge at high RPM ideal for racing

Thanks. Have heard of Electrex but thought the starter had to be dumped.
Something to look into over the winter.

Brian

makes my z1000j look a bit of a dog lol
