Same here, used the bike to run around on new years day rather than the car.

Re: My 78 kZ1000 A2
A couple of hours with some 'Blue-Job' chrome polish powder yesterday and the much shinier Doremi's are back on the bike.
I was quite surprised how well the 'Blue-Job' polish worked.
Let's see how long they stay this colour.

Re: My 78 kZ1000 A2
I've had her just over a year now , most of that spent fettling and tinkering with bits and bobs on her. Alf at 'Alf's motorcycles' in Worthing finished the setting up and tuning and I picked her up last Saturday. I have managed to put more miles on her in the last couple of days than I did in the l...

My 78 kZ1000 A2
She shares her duties with my Z900rs Cafe but she's still my favourite.
Re: KZ1000 B2
I would imagine the spoked wheels from the 1978 kZ1000 A2 would be your best bet.

Re: Old oil cooler fittings ? Advice please.
chrisu , Thanks very much for the quick reply. I took a closer look after your advice and can see what you mean , the pipe is doing externally what the standard oil pressure switch housing does internally.
zed1015 , thanks for the offer but I have got one ordered and on it's way.

Am I correct in assuming that this is where an oil cooler was one plumbed in and when removed they just looped this piec...

Re: New member from Sussex

I just did the basics , a new set of plugs , points adjusted , new fuel lines , new air filter , a good dose of carb cleaner and she's running lik...
