Its a Kawasaki Z1100 :shock: ... not just one.... but 3, which came as a shock!!!!

Lookin thru ebay and found a Z1100 for $1600 , so my dad bought it :lol:

Story was that it was last regoed in late '08 so i asked if it worked and to my amazement... it did! :shock:
The bike is in 90% condition and runs well, a bit of backfire but carbys need tuning, it has a full Staintune system on it which sounds fkin awesome!!!

Also the guy said there is about 20 boxes... yes 20 boxes worth of parts so u can in fact rebuild the second Z no worries....

The second bike is a rolling chassis with the motor half build on it which will be mine her future is undecided at the moment... maybe PCRA :roll:

And the third bike is a bare frame.. :lol:

So... 1 complete running bike, 1 half built and 1 frame... for $1600

A big thanks to Shiny for coming along and using the truck to get these monsters home!! :kuda:

Here are some piccies, sorry about the blurryness... ill take better ones soon! :kuda:

nice pick-up there Brian ! those old shafties are as solid a bike as you could find.

If you ever want to sell the frame that came with this deal ( the 3rd bike :lol: ) - let me know. I have been on the hunt for a shaft-drive frame from either the Z1000ST or Z1100A now for a while for a *special* project ... ;)

no worries ! :kuda: not sure when I will be up your way next, but will pm with details and sort out a price....

Just one thing with PCRA racing - is the 2nd bike a shaftie as well ? If it is, you may want to drop a normal chain-drive J or GPz motor in it..........racing a shaft-drive bike would be..........interesting...... :shock: :lol:

Nice find, i'm guessing someone was sick of not having half their garage, so it had to go.

Out of all things the 2nd bike is missing is the pistons... which are not in the boxes... :x :lol:

Anyone know where i could get a set?

you should be able to find a set pretty easily on US ebay. They pop up all the time there.......not so much on local ebay, but occasionally they surface......

if you have a look at local sellers on ebay - try donjohn. This is the bloke who used to run Uncle Don's down in Dandenong, he is a kwakka specialist in old Zeds.....
