I built a 1000J superbike using parts I already had and an actually original Superbike from the early eighties. Its very close to an S1 and I have the proper S1 bodywork to put on it at some later date. It was a learning curve to race such a big bike, Previously I raced a 81 GPZ 550 and 78 KZ 650. It was a rush down the back straight at Mosport on this bike superbike.
I've attached a before and after

Keeping the good times rolling since 1982. Helping people with parts ,technical support and service of the 70's 80's Kawasakis. Building road bike bikes for individuals involved in Vintage Road Racing in the eastern Ontario region.
