Hi Wardy Just had a similar problem with similar symptoms on my 1100r rep . Same carbs K+N filters dynojet stage 3 . Took me weeks of searching to find the choke bar had moved very slightly causing the choke plungers ( not all of them ) to be partially open. Played havoc with everything though bike ...

Thats quite a find , a fairly rare model even over here . Don't listen to the MZ mockery they really are good bikes albeit with original styling ! I can see some parts on yours that have been directly lifted from my Etz . If it worked they used it again and again . In fact with all that 1 cylinder t...

In a bid to be open and informed about all aspects of motorcycling , popped down to Stuttgart at the weekend to Glemseck 101 an event for modded bikes with an emphasis on Cafe Racers , Men with beards and generally being cool ! Our very own Carl Fogarty was special guest ( not sure why , no beard an...

From many extreme trick Z1000R / Z1100R's spotted at the weekend at Spa , this was my personal favourite . Amazing attention to detail , spot the alternator drive belt and one off front guard . http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r491/lowegeissler/20160702_115553_resized%201_zpsjefosufy.jpg Richard

Hi Swampy Finding a Unitrak engine that is both good and cheap is not easy and you will end up with 2 wrecked engines if you are not careful . I bought one off here and although usable had not been rebuilt in 30 years , so after a trip to Debbens my wallet is 2k lighter and my brother still has to p...

Hooray something I can go to !

Hi Redzee Z1bman is correct the rubber is normally very well glued to the top half of the cover. However I may be able to help ! Take a look at the pic and see if this is what you are after. http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r491/lowegeissler/20160324_121647-1_zpse8vvjnfe.jpg It is from a Gpz1100B...

Thats not a shed its a warehouse ! Once its full of the usual stuff you could lose your bike in there . I am not jealous in any way . Nice one but who has to look after the parkland outside it could take all day to mow the lawn and do a bit of weeding !

Hi Roger Can sympathise with you, I bought a B1 as a donor bike for my B2 and was amazed at how many parts are different .. Luckily it was very cheap but I learnt a lot . Don't ever make the mistake of buying a B1 tank for your B2 it also will not fit without serious alterations, and no sorry I have...

Very very nice result .I think you still have space there for one in stardust silver to complete the set !! It has inspired me to do a B2 refresh this winter everything apart clean and refresh where applicable . Had to take the engine out to get it down to the cellar however. All the best Richard

Hi Mark Sounds like a good plan , especially if you reserve a front mudguard clock set and handlebars for me oh and maybe frame and wiring loom too ! Was very tempted by initial sale but do not have 5k or the space but I can say I sold mine In 1995 also for personal reasons and have regretted It eve...

Thanks Mark The 2 pictures of the green bike are just what I needed . I remember from my 1100r that the stripes certainly went round the corners but unfortunately I have no pics of the bike with the original fairing as I had an incident with a grass verge which reduced it to many small pieces ! Supe...

Hi Just trying to find out 100% in which position Kawasaki put the gold stripe ( the one between the blue and white ) on the fairing of the 1000/1100R in relation to the cutout for the headlight adjuster . http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r491/lowegeissler/20151119_172216_zpsrhq13vj7.jpg I have s...

Hi Spotted recently , beautifully executed but very controversial special http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r491/lowegeissler/20151003_121316_zpssqydkyro.jpg http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r491/lowegeissler/20151003_121354_zpss7awrge0.jpg Richard

Hi Paul Just like to say how much I look forward to your posts and enjoy each stage of your fastidious restorations . I sort of get to live a bit of my dream of getting my 1100R back or buying another one which financially is not going to happen . There is something about the combination of all that...
