Gday

Just wanted to drop in as a fan of "Old School" Kawasakis. I stumbled onto your forum by accident, but I'm sure I'll make myself at home.

Perhaps its about time to stop lurking and start posting.

Hi, my name is Josh and I'm a biker. I make no excuses for this. I ride daily and love it, rain hail or shine (not keen about the wind). Living in Australia means I can ride all year 'round so I feel quite lucky. On the flip side, there is no winter time to do those BIG projects that our UK brethren can do.

I have had my current project/daily commute for 13 years, a ZR750C1. It has had many incarnations and like many of the Heavy Industried Kawasakis, shares many of the same components with many other models.

My first bike was a 1982 KZ250LTD which I had for 4 or so years. I managed to hone my riding and mechanical skills on that one-lunger. Managed to have a fair few crashes on it too.

Thanks for reading this far

clone5,
May I be the first to say welcome .

Welcome C5...we'd love to see pictures. Whereabouts in Oz are you? There are a number of Aussies who regularly post here...you will feel right at home:)

welcome C5, I'm from Ruse, sth west Sydney nsw.

I have some c1 bits on my z650 77, your right about the similarities when it comes to the engine with almost all the parts interchangerble with z750/gpz750 81-87

look forward to pics, cheers

Hey Jimmy

I'm near Bondi. It's nice to hear that many of us are here to fly the flag

Here is a pic of my LTD - a few years ago.



Here is the C1 - It is awaiting the installation of a new ZRX swingarm. I've just polished and put on some 1980 KZ650 cases but I think I'll go with some classic 1978 ones.

Welcome c5. Nice looking rides.

Nice Zephyr and a great picture with the glider. The width of your photo is probably the cause of the "stretch" in text. A mod will size it for you maybe. I think 550 pixels is the max width or some such.
Do you run Koni's or IKON's for rear shocks there. I run Koni and have dealt with IKON in your country and they are good folks.

Hi Clone

Good to see you over here! Ive been here about a year now, whilst I don't post much its a great site to look into.
