Yeah thanks BC.
I really like the look of the Z650 as is, It already owes me more than a small fortune as it has fresh candy red paintwork, a shorter front chrome mudguard, I've removed the rear mudguard and tidied up the rear light area using an Aprilia rear light, fitted a Giuliari seat, V&H 4-1 and and added some rebuilt and powder coated Marzocchi Strada's so I am not unhappy with what I have so far. Electrics and Ignition have also been upgraded. Mechanicals are spot on but I have the top off at the moment anyway for more polishing and checking.
I am thinking I may head down the route of fitting 17" wheels front and rear so I can get some decent (and fatter) rubber fitted. I am on the lookout for something like a ZR750 (or maybe a ZR550 at a push) to be a donor bike so I can use the front and rear ends complete. The advantage of a 750 would be the motor would also drop straight into my frame....not that there is anything wrong with the 650 lump I have now mind. I am also torn whether to go the Rickman fairing route as I did on my last 650 ....decisions, decisions eh ?
I am in no rush - that will happen when/if it happens.
It may even be a next winters project yet as I have work to do on the bike anyway, plus I have a '75 H1F and an '05 ZX10R in the garage that are both crying and feeling left out cos I am neglecting them somewhat ;D
I signed on here for some fresh idea's. I know a few guys from KZ650.info etc on here already. I also run a couple of my own forums too, but you can never have too wide a net
