z1000/z750

not so sure, but I think the newer z bikes have a slight similarity to these kz bikes. :angry:
curious about the z750 the older one(2005ish) that has the 34mm throttles. it really wouldn't be that difficult to put carburetors in the place of the throttles.
not sure if newer bikes have to pass emmisions also.

Youd be better off making the throttle bodies work on the older bikes B)

Mind you I'm just saying, you should take up golf or something less strenious on you mind. Chasing a little white ball might just be up you alley as shear mechanics seem to escape you.

Just an observation. B)

The KZ/Z refers to US and Canada (KZ) and other countries (Z), in both cases air cooled, except for the early 1300 Six.
