2013 Kawasaki Z1000

[yankee99]

That ZX-10R does look really nice, but having owned a bike with white wheels before (1st-gen VFR) I know they only look nice for about two minutes into the first ride after they're washed- never again.

would look good in my living room...

Heheh too true about white wheels.

Look great on race bikes but real world riding not so much

Hey those pipes on the ZX10 must be LOUD eh?

But yes a very handsome bike sitting there

I'll guess you'll be easy to spot at night.

I ordered HID lights (8000K- that's the rating, not the price) for better day and night visibility, but I don't think I'll take it further than that (though I might go for a Halo kit)- what the hell- bikes are supposed to be fun.

Mine are 8000/projectors with the 55w ballast. They are wired when the demon eyes are off the hids come on(2@ a time) high/lo works normal.

They're such a worthwhile upgrade- the difference is huge- I almost forgot about them ('lucky' for me the dealer screwed up the delivery schedule so I'm getting them for free in compensation for receiving the bike on Friday instead of Monday, unless he comes up with another 'sick buffalo' story...)

[yankee99]

Yeh, but finding a matt white wrap is quite tricky.

Going to pock my head in that car wrap place just before you turn onto the 7 motorway on Sukhumvit Pattaya on the corner there.

Anyone want some CREAM carbon vinyl sticker sheet???

"Yeh, finding a matt white wrap is quite tricky."

Funny you should say that. Yesterday, on my way home from the gym I was waiting for the lights to change at Sukumvit and Thepprasit Rds when what pulls up beside me......a Mercedes Benz with a white body wrap! Around the windows they had used black. It was a carbon fibre texture, quite distinctive.

So it is around!

Arh, that's funny because I went into that car wrap place on sukhumvit just before you turn onto the 7 motorway thinking they would have a brilliant white wrap but they didn't.

I'm just going to get them to carbon wrap all the black plastic this week.

If the jobs done to the same standard of the Merc, it will look fantastic!

Yeh they do a poptastic job so looking forward to witnessing some quality instead of plastic.

I've done some myself and it looks crap

Dont know them or their work but seem to have a large selection

Yeh, those lads at teh car wrap place had three Ducatis in all matt black wrapped - looked brill man

[KarlHatton]

Has anyone with a Z1000 changed the 'massive' front brake reservoir ?? If yes, any pics and info would be gratefully received

[yankee99]

Nice thing about this upgrade is it only takes 15 minutes to install ( torqued n loctite)

[mania]

I am betting a Z1000 could use a steering damper too

Can't say I really understand all the 250's I see with them though

There was a group buy on the z1000 forum otherwise i might not have went for it.
