This is not realy a project but restauration to its original. Finished today....

Kawasaki KZ 1100 J 1982.
Charm of previous years, muscle bike of 80s in original! European version generates 100KM and powerful torque. Presents the best engineering of its time and belongs to family of Muscle Bikes that conquer hearts of all bikers world wide.
Kawasaki looks as if She left the factory yesterday, only 56kkm original mileage and engine in perfect condition checked by professionals (compression in each cylinder equal like new), valve clearance adjusted and very best quality synthetic ester graphite engine oil Xenum 10w60 filled up.
ENGINE: All sealants were checked and changed for OEM, bolts, nuts, washers all polished stainless steel, new spark plugs, new coil wires, whole engine glass blasted, carbs checked adjusted and synchronized.
WHEELS: glass blasted, branded new tires, bearings re-greased, sealants changed,
SUSPENSION: front forks with new OEM sealants and new oil, glass blasted, rear shocks KONI completely renewed and like new condition, powder coated
FRAME and OTHER: frame powder coated, swing arm powder coated, rear gear glass blasted, side stand, central stand powder coated, all together 50 parts powder coated. Seat powder coated and new foam inside. All bolts stainless steel or chromed.
TANK: professionally treated with (Fedox, Fertran, Tapox) ani rost treatment and painted inside with fuel resistant painture. Outside original Kawasaki paint No. 307.
ELECTRIC/HARNESS: new battery, harness redone and coted, speedo and odo powder coated and polished with LED warning lights.
BRAKES: caliper painted with heat proof paint, all new sealants and brake pads, partially steel coated wires, master cylinder powder coated with new sealants. Brake discs like new professionally refurbished.
EXCHAUST: front pipes polished, endtopf heat resistant powder coated, stainless steel clamps.
I was trying to bring Kawasaki to its original look therefore all parts are OEM without any changes. Of course some small differences can be found but I make ready everything for use maintenance free for the next 30-40 years.
