New member from the land down under

Hi everyone I'm from Australia and I have just purchased my first Kawasaki, a !983 kZ1100 spectra, I'm importing it from the USA so it will take a few months to get here and no doubt it will need some repairs once it gets here, my previous bike was a 2013 Harley Softail breakout,

Here is a pic of the bike , don't like the rack and sissy bar so I would like to try and replace it with an original grab bar if I can find one.

Nice! :cheer:

I've always loved that style.

What part of the land down under you call home? Anywhere near Melbourne?

Looks like a very nice Spectre, probably an auto correct. You're going to like this so much better than the HD. I 'm not partial to the cruiser configuration but if i were to get one that would be it. I've even put a Spectre headlight on my GPz.

Welcome to KZR...with a little patience, a grab bar for your motorcycle will appear on eBay (US)... :)

I don't think it's an auto in the pictures I can see a clutch lever and a foot lever, how else would I tell

I was referring to Spectre as opposed to Spectra. Your PC probably auto-corrected the word.
