2008 Z750

Post by Mad RS »

Hey Guys'n'Gals,
I haven't been on here long but I thought that I would share with you my 2008 Kawasaki Z750. I've owned it for roughly 18 months, lucky for me I just into QRide before QLD binned it. Being my first bike has been an interesting experience. From the first time I layed eyes on the bike I was in love. The styling just caught my attention and the colour finished me off.

I have added a few modifications (mostly cosmetic):
-Removed boomerang radiator covers (the only hunting and gathering I do is at the local KFC or Maccas)
-Puig screen (helps alot with highway winds)
-Fender eliminator (cleaned up the rear end just nice)
-Rear seat kowl (same as above)
-Race stand knobs (couldn't live without them)
-IXIL Silencers (who am i kidding, I started the bike and thought the MotoGP was in town :shock: :kuda: )
-Renthal ultra low bars (gives the Zed a bit more of a sporty feel and sharpens up the front end turn in)
-Bar end mirrors (I have no need to tune in free to air TV with those factory mirrors)
-Pazzo levers (sooooooooo much nicer than factory items, plus they add *Bling*)

Anyway, let me know what you think

Yeah I have had a look for belly pans in Aus but can't seem to find anyone who stock them. The UK kawaesaki site has 2 styles, one is a standard looking belly pan while the other is called an Under Cowling. I do like the look of the under cowling but at 264 pounds I think it can wait.

Anyone know of a local product????

Hey Mad RS, nice looking bike. I have the current model and want a new exhaust as the stock one is MASSIVE! What exhaust is yours, I love that short look. Also please tell me what type of sound it makes??? Is it deep and throaty or more of a high pitch?

really interested to know...
Cheers Matt...

Ride hard but safe, and most of all have fun!

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the comments.

Sonic, the pipes are off ebay. IXIL is the brand. They give the bike a real throaty scream. Thing sound like a Moto GP bike now. There not too bad to live with and just sound awsome on the highway.

When i was down in Sydney everyone was saying that I had to do the National Park run down to Woolengong (sp??). There must have been about 15 bike there when I pulled up. I caught their attention as I pulled up (over rev matching as I slowed down 8) ). Everyone commented on the pipes. Also found a heap of parks on the water front and down on the point for great photo's. While I was driving around the point area I saw all these classic old school musscle cars cruising around. This guy came up in his white Cadillac and gave me 2 thumbs up (I had seen this guy before but couldn't think of his name). As I rode off I realised that it was Mike Whitney (Australian fast bowler :kuda: ). So Mike Whitney thinks my bike is cool!!!
