hi n welcome to the forum, the brakes look a bit spongy!! seriously though you'll find a wealth of free info here from good friendly peeps so don't be afraid to ask away:that's a nice find mate:what's its previous? I'd guess by the old pirelli phantoms?? its been laid up somewhere for yonks? n you have had a result! as you said it's early indeed

the obvious missing bits are easy to find so you should be ok. cheers m. (e.kilbride)

Hello Green Mamba
welcome to the club!
Nice Z1R you've found! And with a very low frame number, congratulations.
You can find a lot of inormation in Tony Sculpher's book "Kawasaki (K)Z1000 z1-R".
In it you can find very practical information about the history of your bike and a lot of tips and tricks on how to restore it.
Go for it, good luck!
Greetings from Belgium
Philippe
