23000 miles from a busa tyre! damn

Yes there comfy due to the low ride height and seat height, shed loads of power on tap! enough to spin the rear in 6th gear lol.

i'll say one thing though mate, keep a eye on the inlet side of the can where the carbon is riveted, As there is no metal bands, it can split/break away! Should be ok on the hornet but just a little note for ya

stratford aye? i'll see you lot there!! will stop at me misses as she lives near there! meens i can come on A bike

shweet! i'll no doubt be in the first grandstand on the hairpin before the start/finish lol

noticed the same with a set of them, quiet when giving it some, well.. as quiet as any other race can lol

oh hell yeah! i still ride in winter in my leather jacket, gets nippy but a nice nippy

quick question.. the seat cowl for the pillion, is it red and if it in good nick? cause i got one that doesnt quiet match my zed in red.. ( was sprayed closest as possible ) fancy swapping if yours is in good nick and right colour?

tempted to go for a ride on sat to give the zed a bit of a run before silverstone BSB on sunday hehe!

hehe, getting there with it! got the exhaust sorted properly today ( now sits flat under the engine ) found out SBS now sell the exhaust for kle ( same one i got, must be a proto type? ) just over £300 inc postage :|

was gunna order some but 190's are still £170 + postage so meh...

Nice my aunty is from queens land

Yay happy birthday forum!

and it still looks good ere lol http://uk.weather.com/weather/10day-Northampton-UKXX0102

might just do that! been stripped and clean once but the tank is a state and messed them up again, so looks like its start from scratch including a tank clean!!

Well technically its a on going project, not like other peoples projects ( well for now! ) Basically brought it as a runner to use during the colder/wetter/winter months.. So what was the plan for the bike? Sort out the forks bars/grips Exhaust focked Clutch a little dodgy Carbs/jetting and... convert into a supermoto! So how did it all start? bit like this Not too bad looking, just needed a little bit of tidying and work doing on it to get it running properly.. Exhaust was shagged beyond repair, search for a stainless system was on ( £400+ for a not so good flowing system? no thanks!! ) bit of rubbing and a lick of paint on the frame to cover up the nasty spots rear hangers were oxidizing badly, paint flaking off and part snapped off, so time to sort them out! So whats it looking like now with a bit of work done? Well here we go.. Gaitors on the forks, seals done in the forks, bar ends, grips, new pod filters to get me out of trouble, carbs fully stripped and cleaned, new stainless exhaust fitted, new gaskets, rear panel fixed so actually secures.. Oh and got air box on its way, free flow filter so hopefully the surging and flat spot will be cured ( easier than messing with jets! i know its either 118, 120, 125 or 130 main jet needed but its only gunna be my work bike after all!! ) oh and being the earlier 91-96 kle the air box has a bigger snorkle on it allowing more air into the carbs ( also #112 jets not the #96 & #98 as the newer ones ) I know theres a few bits i need to do still.. like get the inside of the tank sorted as its rusty as feck!!! Oh and the cooling system has gone tits up.. so the bike is currently looking like this lol Once the funds allow will be a new 17" front rim laced up to the stock hub with new disc/caliper.

pug wanna do mine for me on the kle lol

got any avon distanzia's ? 90/90-21 & 130/80-17 kk ta thx

ZED ZED ZED!! NOT THE FAZER! lol good lad, get out there, get the job, work ya tits off and buy the bike you want! lol

good! just in time for some new tyres! now.. big ass knobblies or road with chains? lol

dave, i took my zed in for its 15,000 service at 17,000 miles... nowt wrong with going a few miles over!!! as said its only a guide

dealer or private? im tempted to take a trip over to moto forza italia at silverstone

deffo the sv1000! cracking bike, sound like thunder with a nice set of cans

how much ya willing to pay? might have something that will do the trick

i was crippled after going from ere to wales on my SV650, the Z1000 with new seat covers/padding i can go on for longer than i can with the kle!!! the older sports bikes like the thunderace and thundercat, CBR600/1000F or the old zzr's are really comfy and plenty of power!
