New here, new project

#1 PostAuthor: TiBolts » Wed Mar 06, 2019 2:18 pm

Hi I've just bought a Z1000-A1 in bits... I used to have one back in the eighties - well, it was a crashed one that I built up as a Harris Magnum II. Will be looking for info and a few parts inevitably...
I have owned many Kawasakis over the last 39 years including singles, twins, fours; two and four stroke; air and watercooled. But I haven't done a total rebuild for a long time :)

Hi Twyver
welcome to the club!
Now that's what I like! A lot of baskets and boxes plenty with parts and bits and pieces!
If you need any advice, don't hesitate, ask ! I'll be glad to help you with an answer.
