z900 a4 airbox

[needaz1100r]

Mark, is that not a z1000a1 airbox?

More than likely, but it's the closest you'll get.

When it arrives I will compare it side by side to the 900 one.

[Ultim8pc]

True, hard to tell once fitted. And finding a 900 box is nigh on impossible.

some where I thought I read that if fitting a Z1000 a1 air box to a 900 a4 you had to change the battery box

I may well be wrong or they many have been talking about putting in an earlier model

please excuse me if I am wrong, I have 14 or is it 15 Kawasaki's which way is up

You may have to change the support bracket to a z1000 one. Can't remember.

I belive that's it thank you for reminding me

I tend to agree, but here is where it's difficult...I have a stock of stuff, I would like to sell it at reasonable prices, but, if I ever need something in the future, I then have to go out and pay what others are asking, so I either hang on to it, driving supply of an in demand product down, or ask what others are asking.

I'm not the only one in that boat I'm sure.

[Gonzo]

You would have thought that these air boxes could be 3-D printed by now or is it down to cost?

[Ultim8pc]

Agreed: I sold a complete airbox to a member on here for £300 last year. I then found I needed one and had to pay £400 for one.

There are limits to what you can 3D print and often the finished article isn't robust enough.

I've looked into getting some designed an made - it simply isn't worth the very significant up front cost unless you know you can sell thousands. And they'd work out as much money as you'd pay for a used one...

I'd think your boat will have long since sunk with the amount if people like us in

As a topical example I wonder how many sets of Z1000 A1/2 standard exhausts are out there in the back of peoples garages but their owners are reluctant to sell in case they need them for a future project.

Erm, me...

[Pauldonjuan]

Ross Hensgen has almost got a replica Z900 air box sorted and that’ll be a perfect replica judging by the snorkel he makes.
Will probably be a reasonable price too!

See, it's all your fault..
