Re: Z1100 firing on three
That's very interesting, I didn't realise that the twin coils could fail on one side. You learn something new every day. Thanks.

Re: Some nice classic Zeds at the Super Sausage Cafe, Towcester
Great selection of classic kawasaki's. I had a lot of tuning work done on my J in Towcester in the 80s when TTS where in moat lane. Not been back for a long time.

Re: Cat and Fiddle Ride take 2
It's just that a couple of times I've seen someone at the side of the road take pictures of passing traffic and wondered why. Thanks Kev

Re: Dyna Coils and Leads ???
My j has 1170 kit, hot cams, gsxr1100 carbs and other tuning work all done in 1985, and ran perfectly fine on original coils until I stopped riding it about 15 years ago. Just refurbished the bike and put dyna coils on and can't tell any difference (not that you really would). Time will tell how rel...

Re: Cat and Fiddle Ride take 2
One of my favourite rides. I was there on Friday on my J and called into Winkle brewery for a swift half of shandy, surrounding roads towards the leek side are great as well.

Re: And another one
Like you said, not everyone's cup of tea, but what a great thing to have in the garage, and a great conversation piece.

Re: Kawasaki Z1000 R2 cylinder head
If it's just the threads that are an issue they should be easily repairable. There are some good inserts about nowadays and most engineering firms will do them for you. Much better than Helicoils.

Re: Kawasaki z500
My mate had one in red in the late 80s and it was a great bike.
A bike in that condition shouldn't have any difficulty in selling.

Re: New Member
Lovely bikes the A2's especially in that colour. I agree with philippe about upgrading the front brakes as my A2 had twin discs from new so it wouldn't look like a modification.

Re: z1000 st finished and on the road
Really lovely looking bike, I'd say that's a lot better than just a clean and tidy ridable bike. Like other have said would look good on the stafford stand.

Re: How to change to historic vehicle status
As Keith said it very much depends on the post master, we are very lucky to have 2 very good post mistresses in 2 different post offices. I've done 2 bikes just off the V5. The only thing that caught me out was that she said we could tax the bike there and then. I hadn't realised that you still taxe...
