Unbelievable work you do. I've been riding since 1973 so you can imagine how much I appreciate these bikes. You bring these bikes up like new. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing them. All the best.
That seat is hell yeah! I just had the seat off of my 2021 Kawasaki and with 3000 miles, your re-fabricated seat is way better than the original quality!!
Your Work is the best Johnny. What a beautiful Motorcycle. Perfect. I love the 1974 paint Job and the complimentary upgrades. A Super Bike in every sense.
What an absolutely beautiful, impeccable, flat out gorgeous machine…I would sell my television and park that thing in the living room….when I wasn’t out riding the wheels off of it. ❤️☺️
Those oil cooler clamps (18:26) are really sanitary- much nicer than old style hose clamps that cut into the rubber. Looks and sounds like a competition baffle in that Kerker. Great build!
Great job. I'm wanting one now more than ever. I've ridden a few but never owned one. I can honestly say that you have to be mindful when getting on the gas so as not to bring the front end up in 1st & 2nd gear with any Z-1. By far the quickest acceleration I've ever experienced. You guys do fantastic work. Camera lady too.
johnny great looking bike you and your guys do the best job ive seen at restoring these motorcycles thanks for sharing and good luck with the the upcoming races
Nice looking Z1A. I had a 73 Z1 and loved it. I guess the thief thought so also. :-( One handling improvement is turn the front fork legs around 180 degrees and change sides. This puts the heavy calipers on the rear of the fork legs.
Excellent work as usual you are a magician what you create, i dont want to sound rude but what would one from you cost me as im past doing it myself, im in UK regards Darren
John, I have been following your videos for a few years now and you really know your stuff. Z1PPO is one cool bike. You and your shop done one fine job on it, and your suppliers are beyond excellent. Really dig your work and videos. I have a small Kawasaki stach that I was going to do what you do in my garage for my retirement but things got in the way and now I am past it, I was wondering if you would be looking for some stuff for your inventory? I have a 1976 kz 900 and a 1978 kz 1000 plus parts. Not new stuff but restorable. If you would like to talk to me let me know. Thanks for your time. Jack
Sweet Jesus, that's beautiful. One of my many dream bikes.

Johnny is an artist!
I had that same pipe, both the Kerker and the replica Yoshi on my Gs1000 in the early 80s, both great pipes
Just perfect.

Noticed a ‘78 Z1R in the back ground❤️. Could this be the next project bike Johnny??

Nice bike, but if it were mine I would replace the exhaust with a 4 into 4 system.
Drooling 🏍🏍🏍 I have a 1976 KZ 900 LTD Fully restored and punched out to 1050 with only 15000 miles on it restoration by Ray Mancini Xtreme Motorsports
Nice job, I had a 1975 Z1, love your videos. Now have a 1982 LTD 1000, will a larger Kawasaki gas tank fit?
not sure about that
@@Johnnysvintage That's OK, I usually only go for 15 mile rides anyway. 70 years old now and since 1970 riding Kawasakis. Thanks for reply!
