Hi and welcome to the club, nice place to live, if I ever lived in the states it would be somwhere on coast ,I feel the need to see the the sea every day I know it may sound corny but thats just me, anyhow I stop babbling on, you got a nicebike there by the looks of it and plenty of mods too,do have the roads on the island to let it rip or do you have to go to the mainland .


Regards Ted

Kano..... welcome mate..........

As I'm in the middle of my Z1000R2 rebuild.... http://www.z1ownersclub.co.uk/forum/vie ... sc&start=0 ....This is close to my heart at present

Those yokes (3x trees ) are very tasty....

Just a note, but the pilot jets seem a bit large......

Keep up the good work & great/detailed log

Kano,, KZ riders forum!!!Welcome to the best site there is for Zed's

Hello Kano, nice bike and a good detailed rundown of the work you've done, keep it up.

And Ted I know what you mean by living near the sea I wouldn't be able to get on with living inland, only feel at home by the coast.

thank you for your warm welcome just like being back home.
i have to say after 8 yrs away im home sick for southend on sea
yes i know i must be crazy lol.

pig im still having a nightmare getting jets right on this bike its on the list lol after busa end seamlessly bolts into place and hydraulic clutch for my old arthritic hands and a new set of bars from a yz in gold don't think the colour will help my back but the bars should give a more upright riding position.

going to drop seat off for recovering tomorrow and watching the mail for the triples.

where i am at as of today.

new tank,
new side panels,
new tail,
new sprockets,
new piggy shocks,
clutch master in place,
new billet res brackets,
new seat cover,
new led tail light,
new rear sets.
