The Zephyr Zone

As far as I am aware Kawasaki don't or didn't make any frame touch up or aerosol paints for the zephyr 550/750/1100 frames? so does anyone know a colour that is pretty close, I'm not repainting the whole frame, just the footrest hangers and a bit of touching up. Halfords had a BMW cosmos met black t...

I want to change the rear brake calliper to a under slung type, so I'm going to use a period ZZR one to match the wheels. Will have to cut the torque arm lug off the top of the swingarm and re weld it underneath, job done! Here's a quick mock up: DSC_0804.JPG Unfortunately the Zephyr disc is approx ...

Must admit I like the look of this and can imagine they'll be some nice "specials" emerging from owners and builders soon after it's launch . Personally I think Kawasaki have nailed it with this and will make a fortune out of selling the whole Zed lifestyle thing with clothing, bike access...

Looking great as ever, like the riding pic must do some of them when I get mine finished

This was taken back in 2013 at a bike show for the Air Ambulance Fund.....2 days later I crashed it !! (I'll start a project thread soon)
And a couple of my current ride a 78 Z1000a2, I absolutely love it
