Re: Makes you want to change brands....

it's all about girls ( purportedly) but the only 'girl' in it is Boras mum in a prison jumpsuit. If the Kawasaki song is this bad, I'd hate to see the Honda one.

Re: Rear tyre hugger

i think what you're looking at is a swing arm brace - not std fitment on many bikes.

Re: Frame Polishing??

it takes forever to do properly, and then everyones sus that its a repaired writeoff. if you've still got the zzr250, don't bother, just ride it. Or get the rims polished??

Re: 05 z1000 exhaust

+1, there's a lot of good stuff around today. if youre going for slip ons, check out muzzy, leo vince, micron, ixil, you name it. I omitted Staintune on purpose, buts that just me. Just put your stock ones on the shelf, don't dick with them, just in case you go to sell later.

Re: Bar-end mirror's for Renthal's

i got a set in Nerang, from the motor cycle accessory shop, but the supplier was mcs, which most bike shops get stuff from.

Re: Z1000 FORKS

my 04 z1000 has zx9 internals in the front forks - everything else stays the same ( so i'm told, bike came with it already done, but sounds easier than having a gixxer front end on a kwaka, I'd likely forget and end up buying wrong brake pads etc. ) ???

Re: Z1000 and higher Kms

everyone has their opinion, but I reckon go for an 04-06, the 07-09 were a bit porky, and the cash you save you can put into fixing the suspension up.

Re: Twin Growlers For 09 Z1000

I've ridden an sv650 with leo Vince pipes - sounds awesome, looks great.

Pity these dont fit on an 09 (?)

hairspray & lockwire for me too. How old are the grips? I've never had any move on me until they get old & tired.

not much you can do about it. Then you wash it off, and notice all the stone chips.

Re: Z1000 2010 Model (Now with Green one too)

thats roughly what they reckon. Makes it a pain in the arse if your sunday ride includes 2-3 fuel stops.
