Anyone on here ever fitted a set of Type N Galespeed forged wheels to a Z1000 or Z1000 MKII ? https://www.performanceparts-ltd.com/road/kawasaki/z-1000-mk2-79-80/1979/categories/brakes-and-wheels/galespeed-rear-wheel-type-n-black-6-spoke-forged-alloy-400-18/28671122 Or any other modern Tubeless rims...

Still looking for a ratty old set of inlet rubbers if someone has any going spare? - doesn't matter if they are cracked etc.

Hi Zed Heads,
Has anyone got a ratty old set of inlet rubbers going spare?
I'm going to build a jig to hold my bank of MKII carbs whilst off the bike for setting service fuel levels etc.

Kind regards,

What are members recommendations for the best aftermarket carb inlet rubbers in respect of quality & fit for a Z1000 MKII ?
Also who to purchase them from?

Thanks & regards

I'm looking for a Left-Hand riders footrest assembly for a 1979 Z1000 MKII or any of the components to make one up.
Part no.s that I have are:
Bracket - 34003-036
Footrest - 34028-1007

Just an update on this one. After much investigation I've discovered that most rectifier/regulators that people claim are for the MKII will not actually fit. This is because on the MKII the unit sits behind the LH side panel inside a metal electrical box. The standard Kawasaki unit is approx 66mm d...

On my German z1000h I had to make a small ally plate to get the electrex one to fit

Do you have a photo showing how you did it?

I've still not got around to changing the 40+ year old Regulator/Rectifier on my Z1000 MKII - part no. 21066-1008 Electrixworld £55 still appear to be out of stock - also it doesn't look to be plug & play. This one is listed on E-bay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLTAGE-REGULATOR-FOR-KAWASAKI-KZ5...

Rob has just fitted a set of the new Viton seals to the choke plungers out of my Z1000 MKII carbs (Mikuni VM28SS)
I have to say that Rob has done a really nice neat job & with a very quick turnaround.
Very impressed & highly recommended!

Hi Chaps,
I would be interested to know what members think in the best method to get the correct camchain tension when you have a manual adjuster such as the APE type etc ?

Hi All,
Does anyone are the riders footrest assemblies on a Z1000 MKII the same as the Z1000 ST ?

OK good idea - I will get in touch with John Browse.
Thanks,

Nick
