Big ask guys but nearing the end of my Z1A restoration and in ten months of lookin havent been able to get my hands on a toolkit.
Dont mind payin good money for a decent correct complete set but will consider any rusty old bits so long as they are originally
out of an early Z tool kit I can have them refinished. Have pretty much resigned myself to maybe making a set up from bits and
pieces from far and wide. Cheers Dave

out of curiosity how can you guys tell the diff between an old z1 tool kit and something from from say a 1000j

[tlc]

Steve. These tools are from a Z1 series. Note the KHI logo preceeding the upper case font "KAWASAKI". Also note the Gold KHI on the screwdriver handle.



These are from a Z900 or Z1000A series where the logo has changed to the stylised "BIG K" but still upper case "KAWASAKI" The 8/10 spanner is from a Z1 though. I am still looking to swap mine for a correct 900/1000 tool.



This pic shows the difference between Z1 and Z650 where the tool is slightly smaller and of a lesser quality finish.



The later bikes have an upper case "K" folowed by "awasaki" in lower case.

OK thanks quick insight there , if only they had kept the same design would have saved a lot of hassle
