It is a beautiful bike, I only have a problem with any "Kawasaki" which is lacking a Tail piece. That is what distinguished Kawasakis from other bikes in the old days. If you would like help installing the appropriate tail piece on the bike We would be more than happy to help. :blush: A Kawasaki without a tail piece is like a Scotsman going into battle without his kilt (If you know what I mean) It is fully functional and might even be lighter on its feet, but in battle, something just would look wrong. :woohoo: :blush:

Hay Larry, what did that set you back. Do you have any opinion on my head work on mi Thread. kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&...w&catid=11&id=169462
I am an avid visitor to your web sight and have quoted you quite a few times here.
Otto
Otto,
96CFM is a nice street head. You did a nice job.
The bore on the throttle bodies was free. Good friend did them for me. Stock TBs flow about as well as a CV carb of same size. Pogue TBs flowed 143CFM @10".
Stock 83 TB w/o stack 114.7
Stock 83 TB with Stack 125.8
Sid Pogue bored throttle bodies with stack 143
Last September when I spoke with Sid, he would still do the throttle body bore.
Larry
This means that the stock throttle bodies should be more than adequate for my application since the head will flow about the same as the stock TBs? Or am I wrong to presume so. I do not have a welded crank and do not make a habit of dropping the clutch. I may accelerate briskly, but fluently. Did you ever get that linkage for the shift lever? I emailed you a couple of times to let you know that I had one, but you never answered.
Otto
Yes, I found a whole shifter.
Yes the stock TBs will work OK. It depends on the level of improvement you're going for. My 1075 street motors with 29's would smoke stock GPz11 through the 1/4 mile.
With everything you collected so far, you have a very low $$$ initial investment. Something to be said for that
Set it up, dial it in with the regulator and TPS. Then, if you want more, consider the throttle body mod. With you head and cams, it should make a nice improvement over stock TB's.
What I think you're going to find is for best performance you're going to have a sooty baffle. It's the nature of the beast. Keeping the bottom end richness under control is in the TPS. Use the adjustment method I described for that. It's better than the OEM guage.
I've seen them be right on with the blinking lights and then run better after we adjusted it the other way.
PS - IF you could scan the 83+ DFI wiring diagram and upload it, I'd sure like to have it.
