Hello Everyone

Hi, new member from Manchester UK, i have a 1977 Kawasaki Z1000A1 that is in need of work to get it back on the road, spent a bit on it already as it was missing a few parts or were a bit rough, I know i will need some advice from the enthusiasts on this forum.

Thanks

Welcome to KZRider...very nice Kawasaki!

Welcome from Leicestershire, great to see another Brit on board:)

Welcome in!

Looks to have some bits and bobs added to it over the years but appears to be in great condition.

Later, Doug 

Welcome, looks nice

Welcome aboard!

Welcome! Beautiful bike. 

Hi, can anyone tell me about the wheels on my Z1000, i was told from the previous owner they were Henry Abe wheels, i have never heard of them..

Thanks

 

I am not saying this is necessary, but I would suggest you start another post/topic for your question about the wheels you have. I would think you have the ability to do a search on the internet, as a quick search I did returned several different links for info on the wheels.

Can tell you are in the UK with a Marshall "deep tone" 4-1 where they available anywhere else ?

Thanks Wookie58, I was told by the previous owner they were getting rare and possible worth a few bob, just wondering in the KZ/Z scene on this site if there are many bikes with Henry Abe wheels fitted, and  do they devalue the bike, also can standard exhausts be made in the UK ??, i know Zpower do the four into four pattern ones as on the Z900.
Look forward to members thoughts on this

Welcome from sunny kent by brands hatch.
if you want stock replica exhuasts make sure you stay well clear of the busso offerings from italy. Appalling quality, appalling lead times, appalling customer service. 
luckily mine still has oem originals in excellent condition. 
z1000a1's are a great bike. They have all the idiosyncranises of the 900 range iron ironed out and also have a bit more grunt.
Henry abe wheels are sought after in the resto mod fraternity but 100% stock is the way to get best value come resell.
