Z1B 6 YEAR RESTORATION

#1 PostAuthor: z1bman » Mon Aug 01, 2011 8:26 pm

THIS IS THE KAWASAKI Z1B I HAVE RESTORED OVER THE LAST 6 YEARS
ITS NOT STANDARD BUT THAT'S HOW I WOULD HAVE CHANGED THINGS IF IT WAS NEW

NEW GENUINE PARTS INCLUDE
COMPLETE EXHAUST SYSTEM
SEAT ASSEMBLY
FRONT + REAR MUDGUARDS
INDICATORS+STEMS
KICK START
FOOTREST RUBBERS
PISTONS + RINGS
VALVE STEM SEALS
GENERATOR COVER
AS YOU ALL KNOW SOME OF THESE PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE + WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE

MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE RE STORE BACK IN 1996 WAS A GPZ 750 E TURBO . I HAVE NOT RIDDEN A MODERN MOTORCYCLE THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE SAME ADRENALIN RUSH AS THIS POCKET ROCKET

The Z1B is a stunner, my favourite yet, well done mate, You are a true artist :resp
I'd rather be riding my Z1 thinking about God than sitting in a church thinking about my Z1..
