you been busy, its coming along quite well.since the heart attacks it wouldve taken me a year to do what you achieved in months.will be looking forward to a test ride video.sure it will get many smiles per gallon.
Nice going Jon, its coming back together. You might struggle with your idea to run a bracket from the muffler straight to the mount you pointed out. Too long and parallel to support. You might want to do something tidy and bring a bracket down from your top shocky mount to hold the muffler. Otherwise a 45 deg bracket from the top of the triangle for the rear footpeg holder. My Z spat the dummy today. Remember when I said I had the same prob your Honda did, where the timing advancer was sticky. I pulled mine apart and found on the inner piece, some slight rust on the surface. So I cleaned it with emery paper and gave it a light grease. Took it for a ride today, nice warm day too, down the hill to Bunbury. Coming back up the hill the bloody thing went better for a while. Up the top of the hill it started to lose power and I was hearing the rattly ping again. I still had 20 - 30 k's to go so I limped it home. About 15k's to go it started to blow smoke. When I got it home, the idle sounded pretty nasty. I started it up a couple more times after it cooled. Still sounds pretty manky. I was telling my wife, I'll rob the upgraded parts off it when I get my original Z1100 up and running. This one that died today was resurected from the grave yrs ago and has never really liked that process. It has had a few goes at getting it running. 3 sets of pistons so far. Time to pull the pin on it
Oh man, I'm really sorry to hear that! What a shame. Hopefully you got some good use out of it. Sometimes it's a love hate relationship with the old bikes. I was almost spit off a friend's vintage bike recently when the back wheel locked up at 55mph. The wheel freed up when I pulled the clutch in and I was able to coast to a stop (sure beats sliding). Shook me up a bit and I thanked the man upstairs for safety! It goes with the territory I guess.
Thanks Mark. I decided not to do an episode on the ignition because there is already an excellent video on RUclips covering the Dyna ignition installation on a KZ1000.
Thanks Andrew. The baffle is in the right place. It's just the tab on the baffle that is further back. I have already made a bracket for it so no worries. 🙂

Thanks David. Working on another KZ1000 video now. I promise you'll get to hear the KZ running very soon!

A original LTD step-down seat will look even better
Thanks, Joseph. I have a step-down seat that I can use if I want. I may actually go to the flat KZ1000 A seat and tank at some point.
Nice nice very nice are you going to show installing dyna electronic ignition Jon have a good day

Looking good
I wonder if you could cut that header back so the baffle fits in the right spot.
Other then that it looks awesome.
Thanks Andrew. The baffle is in the right place. It's just the tab on the baffle that is further back. I have already made a bracket for it so no worries. 🙂
Oh perfect, can’t wait to hear it run and out on the road.
