very nice! looks like you enjoy working on it as much as riding it. can't say i would have done anything different 'cept maybe a high mount exhoust. best looking z i've seen for sure.

[bigred875]

thanks man.....i am thinking of cutting that one down...dunno about a high mount...dunno if the wife would appriciate it lol

ps - mshap did the motor work and helped with most of the other stuff...not bad for a girl

Or turn my current ride into a streetfighter.

let's do it!

[hqp921]

let's do it!

I'd love too... but y'know... the whole not really mechanically inclined thing kinda gets in the way.

Not to mention not really knowing much about bikes yet.

But, I would love to:
- Lose the fairings
- Veypor Unit
- get a Triumph Speed Triple style headlights
- Repaint (although I might be limited, since I have that blue with red trim seat...)
- Etc.

/thread jack... maybe.

It looks great... now get rid of those stock levers and get either some Pazzo or CRG shorties.

Also... when are you and MsHap coming over to help with my Ohlins

[highsider]

Why in the hell would you put a beer can over your starter?

Its a slick looking bike, in spite of the beer can.

ya, next year i am doing controls...probably a TAG fat bar kit, shorties and new rearsets

[OreoGaborio]

very nice man, very nice.

I actually like the look of the exhaust the way it is. Some bikes look better w/o a short exhaust, imo. your bike's got kind of a long & lean look to it for a naked, i think the exhaust works w/ it.

[Doc]

That Beer can is funny! I have seen it on the rear shock remote res but not the starter. I might try that... But with a can of Red Bull or something.

[bigred875]

be warned DOC it was a PITA getting it on there...took me 3 days of messing with it

[rpete]

Hey, if you only had $1000 to spend, what would you keep? I mostly love my z1000, but I'm thinking maybe replacing the rear shock and front forks would make the most difference. I kind of like the stock exhaust, so I don't think I'd want to replace those.

[keeena]

Sweet bike Bigred. I've always liked the Z1K and yammy's version (FZ1).

Were the 636 forks a direct swap...no need for new fender/wheel spacers etc.?

[SVRACER01]

[Wishbone]

i like the z better for the neeked look, the fizza looks stupid with no lower fairing. who would own one of those? .....oh wait

pretty much a direct swap, i have washer like spacers on the axel and f4i motor mounts for caliper spacers as the z1k rotors are bigger, eventually i plan to swap out to a 636 wheel and that will do away with the spacers.
