Z1000A1 re build

Ginger Bear, it is a great break, virtually everything now, shame the tank, panels and tailpiece were nicked but there you go, the rest is there. I am at a loss as to how the front end should look tho' I like the GSX1400 rear end but am not so sure about the front, I like the look of the "upside down" fork sets, will have to see what comes up nearer the time! :)

Colin,
Tread carefully with upside down forks, they're usually quite short, which will cause all sorts of problems..... You can read all about mine in my 'Z1000 Money Muncher' thread.
I was reliably informed by Zed1015 that ZX9R(B) forks are the longest Kawasaki made. I have also believe early GSXR1100 forks are long enough as well.
Do a bit of research first...... It will save you £££££££'s in the long run.
Good Luck.

Upside down forks

#85 PostAuthor: colinj » Sat Jul 18, 2009 11:58 am

Ginger Bear, thanks for the advice, I will have another look at your moneymuncher thread way before I invest and the ZX9R and GSXR info is invaluable, I don't have a pot to spend so I will have to be very careful where it goes, but the good side is there is no time limit so I can take my time researching! Thanks again!!! :D
