Hi everyone!
08 Apr 2006 15:29
About time I registered as Ive often found your site informative and enjoyable.
Ok, I know my bike isn't strictly a KZ but a ZR but I hope you will make allowances for that.
The bike in question is a '91 ZR750 Zephyr. Ive had it for just over 3 years now and done a few mods on it in that time.
Most notably:-
GPz 750 cams in a ported head.
Six speed gearbox conversion out of a GPz 550.
Six pot calipers off a ZX7R
The gearbox job was a worthwhile one and I see some members have done the same on their KZ's:)
Jobs to do are to fit some bigger carbs and pods in place of the near stock setup. Otherwise its get out and ride time.:laugh:

Welcome! Nice bike. I really liked those when they came out. They are very similiar to the KZ's but have some of the newer technology. Sounds like your mods are all big improvements too. What part of the country are you from?

Well I'm from the UK.
In fact a place called Ashford in Kent which is in the south east of England.
I will put these details in my sig once ive figured out how!
Im always looking for improvements I can make, usually anything that can be done on a tight budget.

Welcome aboard!
That is a sweet lookin' Zephyr. I think you can fit right in as those models have a lot in common with our older iron.
