Guys
I have searched eBay for an original set of tools for my Z900A4 to complete my bike. Not that they are any good but needs must.
Can anyone advise if there are other ways of getting this kit together?
Just purchased a 1976 UK Z900 A4 for renovation. Wish me luck.

Can anyone post a pic of an original tool kit?

Could you not try buying the odd original tool here and there on ebay to make up a kit?

Nigel, if you PM me your email address I can photograph my tool kit, which is original & send you said picture/pictures. The tool bag around one of the press-studs is a bit ripped, but that's all that's wrong with it !!

I've never been able to post pictures on here as I'm not clever enough :oops: Maybe you can post it/them once you have it/them ?!

Japanese Ebay !!

You go through a middleman that takes a cut but an excellent place to pick up original hard to find parts !! Only trouble is google translation so if there is any doubt then best not to use it. I have bought a fair bit via them and haven't had an issue.

is the middleman or the site to use to get into the japanese ebay. It'll open in japanese but top right you can change it to english, put Kawasaki Z in the search and be prepared to spend a bit of time looking at whats available.
