Z900 A4 REAR SHOCKS WHICH ONES - Also rear grab rail question

[Padders]

Looks like I will be riding a Z900 A4 this year after doing a deal against the Harris. However it has a set of bright red Mazzers on it! Having been on monoshocked bikes/specials for the last 8 years I am a bit out of touch on twin shockers.
A, Can you still but Ohlins for the Z900 and if so how much and where.
B, Can you recommend an alternative decent adjustable shock.

Also whilst I am on can the grab rail for the Z1A be used on the Z900. I know the indicators are supposed to mount to the Grab Rail but are the mounts on the frame still the same as the Z1A.

Cheers for now Ian.

Ian,go to the HARRIS website and follow the Ohlins link.
Harris are the U.K importers of Ohlins so all the spec. is on there.I think the basic piggy back Ohlins are about ?395 and the hi/lo speed damping models are ?600+ but i may be wrong.If you look in the back of Superbike magazine there are regional Ohlins centres such as KAIS and Mick Gardner Racing.I think Mick Gardner is the nearest one to you but all the info is available on the Harris website.

Cheers Jack, bit bloody pricey any other decent makes around before I fall on my knees and beg the wife for yet another early birthday prezzie!

So being tight and get a set!!!!
Hagons are just over a ?100 delivered to your door if you want a cheaper alternative.

The early Zed grab rail is the best one - the one with the brackets on it looks like **** I don't exactly know why Kawaski did that to all the bikes in '76. The old brackets will still be on the frame unless someone has cut them off and they're the same. Also goes for the 1000 A1/A2

That Z900 you've just got is a nice looking bike, not stock but tastefully done, saw it when I bought the 2nd 1100 ELR back in January

Cheers for that Big john he sent me a picture of the ELR you got a bargin there. I am not too bothered about stock just want a nice bike to use whilst I build my project Zed.

Thanks for the advise Chris on the grab rail.

Cheers Iain on the Ikons.

Bed time now.

I put Hagons on my Z1000J. Also believe IKON in Australia do a set but i think more expensive, check FX rate.

Gremlin sells the Ikons.
