Hi Redzee when I restored my Gpz1100B2 I wasn't aware of it, I became aware of it when I restored my Z1000R2. I had ordered a chain kit for the Z1000R and when I tried to put the chain on the sprocket the chain was too short. Only then I started to look at the parts numbers of the R1 and R2 and disc...

Hello Peter

congratulations with your Z1R !
It seems to me that there's not very much to do in order to restore it. It's almost complete and in a good shape.
Original Z1R parts are expensive but there are good replica parts available.
Good luck with the restoration!

Hi Stugill if you have a Z1000R2 the swing arm is about 1 cm longer than the swing arm of a Z1000R1. As a matter of fact the Z1000R2 has the same swing arm as the Gpz1100B2.

Hi Paul

the spacer between the hub and the rear brake caliper must be 31 mm long if you use the alloy wheel.
The spacer of the spoke wheel (original) is shorter.

Hi Paul

I would advise you to take the H wheels. They're original Kawasaki although they need a refurb. Just keep in mind that you'll need another spacer for the rear wheel.

Hi Zoso

I'll be following this restoration to see how the bike turns out so please post lots of pictures.
It's always great to buy a bike in boxes, you never know what you're going to find...always surprises, some good, others not so good.
As far as I can see you're almost there.

Hello men it's been a few weeks since my last update but here it is. The past few weeks I've been waiting for the parts to be replated...I spent the time with preparing the body parts in order to paint them. As usual all the old paint was removed. The fuel tank and the front mudguard needed putty in...
