ELR Clone

Does anyone have info on what it takes to build a ELR Clone? I would be starting with a '82 1000 LTD, Is that a 1100 tank? And is the fin just of a J2? Also all the pictures I've seen have remote resevoir shocks, was this stock on that bike? And the black Kerker exhaust? Just an idea, not sure I'm even going to try and do it yet. Thanks!

you may find some info here www.kz1000r.com ;)

Mike check out Otto's thread here kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&...imitstart=340#295298

A lot of what he has done to his bike will apply to what you are thinking of doing.

It is an 1100 'style' tank, ala GPz. The ELR tank lacks the pressure relief valve opening.

And is the fin just of a J2?

Tail pieces from KZ1000J1/2/3, KZ1100B1/2, KZ1100R1. KZ750L1/4, KZ750R1, and KZ700A1 are structurally identical.

Yes

And the black Kerker exhaust?

Also standard, except on the Euro edition of the KZ1100R1, which used 1982 GPz1100 exhausts

What fairing is this...really looks right on the bike.

I've gone through the galleries on kz1000R a few times, lots of good idea's there.

Lots of good desktop backgrounds too.:laugh:

This unique machine was assembled in a short series in 1982 with this fairing by

Kawasaki France Named "championne du monde" in reference to the Kawasaki

win in the 1981 world endurance championship.
