Re: Plastic Welding

Afew years ago I had a broken panel on a ZX9R - The bike had fallen on its side & broke the front indicator area.
From a friends recommendation I used these guys near Worcester.
The repair was perfect.

Re: Petcock/Fuel tap

I remember an issue with this from a few years ago. As per the 1st post - Mine was not leaking - just very difficult to change position. One of the problems with the Z1R fuel tap is the lever is so small - there is little leverage to play with which can make it difficult to operate. I took it apart ...

Got my Z1R one to original pattern in 2012 - still going strong
If he has not got the original pattern on file - send him your old one and he can make it.

Re: 1978 KZ1000 A2

My reaction is I think the original Z1 motorcycle is a design masterpiece and the original shape pipes is one (of the many) things that Kawasaki got 'just right'. Look at any 900/ 1000 with a non standard 4 into 4 and it is just not quite right. I think a part of how people react is, after 40 odd ye...

Re: HT Leads

Just to put in a word for Dyna Coils. I have used Dyna Coils with Standard points ignition for a number of years with no issues. My report would be - easy to fit and reliable. As has been pointed out - there are cheaper ones available which may be just as good. "Pay ya money and take ya choice!...

Re: Points Plate Grommet

The grommet in question appears to have an odd shape in that it has a flat side and is 'D' shaped. Just a suggestion - I suppose until one turns up, you could use a 'normal' round (maybe slightly undersize) one with a smear of silicon which should seal against the elements ok. At least it would allo...

Re: Just took delivery of this

Excellent choice.
Due to its angular lines, not the most popular bike - but in April of this year I have owned mine for 40 years, so with some conviction I can state they are a fine machine and a great bike to ride.

Re: Red z1b

Been hankering after a Z1B for ages and it does look great - Paint looks spot on.
However I would need time to sell one of my 2 z1000's & I think it could get snapped up quickly
Very nice bike though
