SOLD 1980 Kawasaki Z1000 Ltd - this is a genuine low milage bike I purchased from Pembrokeshire Classic (now retired) as an original untouched LTD. I then set about removing the more American parts that I didn’t like such as the bulky seat and Jardine 2-1 pipes. The bike is in exceptional condition,...

Now sorted - thank you.

Wanting to put a larger tank onto my LTD. Does anyone have either a tank or a full set they might sell please?

Didn’t mean it to sound rude, it’s just that LTD stuff is very unpopular over here, the Americans still seem to like it, but I suppose they were the target market. But as I said good luck with the sale. I may be able to sell mine yet. I wasn’t offended Walshyco - it was a fair observation! I realis...

I have a number of parts which I've taken off my very low mileage Z1000LTD. These are all for sale or trade if you have anything I might want/need for my Z1000. LTD Stepped Seat - very good condition - no rips or tears. £75 plus postage High Passenger Grab Rail - good chrome, no scratches or pittin...

I don’t want to piss on your fireworks, but LTD stuff sells like last years bread, I have three of those seats and an exhaust system, I tried in the end to give the exhaust away but the guy didn’t want to travel to pick it up so declined. I hope you have more luck than I did. GLWS. Yeah, I understa...

Philippe - good tip - thank you!

Hi guys - are there any top tips to help install the exhaust headers please? I’ve got a set I’m fitting where the header pipes are all in one piece - so it needs to go on in one go - I’ve had one attempt at it but one cylinder is blowing. All seems a bit of a juggling act with the headers collars an...

Cheers Bill P,

Have enjoyed taking the spanners to it today. Nothing like rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck into a project!

Hi guys, after many false dawns, i've finally bought myself a big Z. Like a few I've seen recently, I've bought a Z1000LTD - it's a 1980 in very good condition with a low mileage. It's a project bike for me, not that it needs to be worked on particularly, but I want to take a bit of the yankiness of...
