Z1000R and Z1000J - Lots of pics, and Gun-Kote oven baked paint.

Demands...demands...:laugh:

Hmm, well...its to late I think...since the bureaucracy has done their job now. :laugh:

But on the 1000R I am open for color suggestions. :laugh:
But orange will be one of the colors there...

Oki, since there has been a heatwave here in Bergen, all my friends have driven around on their bikes, and me...only watching... BUT, this will maybe take and end now, because I have bought this little friend;



The electrical system is burned somewhere, so its a cheap deal.
I got no plans with this bike, only drive it until I am done with the 1000J.

I will have a look at the bike now, and if i am lucky maybe its only minor damages on the wires...
The preowner saw smoke underneath the tank, so i have to start there.

Yeah, right!



After consulting the Holy Bible Of Kawasaki, the original service manual, it turned out that the brain is toasted...
Thats what I could find out after doing the tests and readings with voltmeter. :laugh:

Well it doesn't matter, today I ripped off the old harness, and putted on the harness from 1000R, and if I have time tomorrow maybe I will start it up then.
Because today its almost done, only missing the carbs and lightning, and some other small details.

The old injection stuff and dash.

Well, this is the style... almost.:laugh:

This is just something I can drive on until the 1000J is done.

Its been busy lately with other things, but almost done now


Its a mix of 1000J, 1000R and GPZ1100.
Its fun, I am using all the rusted and dented parts from the other bikes I have.
This is the twisted other half of me making a bike. :S


As for the real project, I am waiting for parts, tomorrow I will Gun-Kote some more parts...
So things are happen. :silly:

she lives!!!awesome now you can go out and carve up some of those beautiful roads that you have taunted us with pictures of!so everything seems tight and right on the green meanie,such as steering stem,swingarm pivot,the engine sounds good and doesn't smoke?i hope it is going to be as you expect and all will be well.
