Classic 70's style handlebars - they are a great look on a bike of this era.

Metal where did you get the handle bars from?

My brother-in law picked the colour out Goz it is very similar to ye old cany apple red. I'm working on another six fiddy but in a nice light Kwaka metalic green send pics soon.

Thanks Gos I hope you dont mind I down loaded the same document cheers!

Bingo TX MT opened the old cable it was rusty as in the guts looks like water did get in, the outside looked good as. Ive lubed the new cable hopefully that will repel some of the water out.

Just had the chrome wheels added. Removed the alloys best thing I ever did. I was luckly enough to find a set of dual calipers and rotors. Not as posh as Metal Triunphs...

Any Z650 owners in Perth Interested in getting together for a ride? I feel like I'm the only one on the road...

Back again! When I start the beast up it makes a "chicken like squawk" when I back of on the starter button? This has got progressively worse over time where its now become novelty to other non-Kawasaki z650 owners. Would a starter kit fix this or just get a reconditioned one? Cheers guys.

Thanks MT actually mine was tied down the same way and tight as. Ill loosen it up and see if it makes a difference. Cheers

Thanks Gosling will give it good lube this time. Not sure about the springs might be clutch seems to have a lot of meat still. If it happens again Ill pull it apart and have a look...very last option not keen to pul it he bugger apart.
Cheers
Infekted!

Ive gone through 2 clutch cables in 12 months? Do I have the tension to tight on the clutch? Any tricks to set the clutch? Cheers!

Wow that awsome work love the gauges!

Hi devo Im alway looking for a spare bike

Ever thought of upgrading the calipers? You won't be sorry if you do.

Any recommendations on the caliper ugrades. I couldnt use the F off the original series as they didnt match the 78 B ...

When in Rome...I got a brag about dis bike if it had virgina id marry it. well it's almost a marrage its just as tempramental and I only get to ride it once a month
