Hey all, Im new to the party.

Little background on myself, I had a major motorbike accident early last year which very nearly killed me at 100kph+ on my Aprilia Tuono. I cant remember 15mins before the accident, during or for 2 weeks after while in ICU. I fractured / broke 21 bones, tore both rotator cuffs, popped lung and have Tbi (traumatic brain injury) in multiple places. So as far as road riding goes Ive pretty much thrown the towel in after this one.

I have a 79 z1000 turbo (not a tc) that had unfortunately been left in a chook shed for 10+ years before I bought it, not going and in a pretty bad state and havent done much else with it since. Ive customized a number of bikes over the years (streetfighting sports bikes) but after my accident would love to get stuck into this

These are my fighter builds ......

Any bike can be turbocharged. The TC is a factory model from Kawasaki.
