I cant believe how hard this is to write on a public forum, I am not new to motorcycles but this forum caper is a new experience for me.
I love Kawis and have owned, in no particular order, a kr1, zx6rr, zzr1200, zx10r, zx12r, currently on a zx14 and am starting a rebuild on a 1977 z1000 a1 (the reason for me joining up). I have done a few laps of good old Oz on a motorcycle and had a brief and not particularly distinguished stab at club racing a couple of years ago.
I have visited this site many times over the years to pick up few tid bits of info when rebuilding the 6 and the 10 after short excursions down the track

Anyway that is my intro so you know who I am. When I get a little more confident I will write to ask some stuff about the z1000 while I do my research to help me decide the best mods to make her stronger in the twisties but still keep the vibe.
cheers
Rob
