Z1 Enterprises....
30 May 2013 09:10
Well,I needed an exhaust valve for the 1100,and after ordering things from there,I decided to Google-Map thier location.They are only 25 miles from my house,at the end of the road right off the Hi-Way!!!So I took a drive out there the other day,and sure enough,drove right into thier parking lot.The building looks like an old Farm-and -feed store,but it is packed wall to wall with parts.They were kind enough to give me a little tour,and after I got the valve,I was left with a really good impression of thier operation.Top notch.So if anybody ends up in the Rochester,NY area,take 490 to the 441 exit,go East to the end of it,make a right at the light in Marion,and it's just down on the left.

Glad you coul make it out. The building was a vinegar / cider processing site - one of the largest in NY State 100 years ago...
Much of the site burned down in 1923, but the small building left of center is my office today... complete with an old-style walk in vault/safe - double steel doors and a tumbler lock.

You should set it up where kzr members get a discount or something. I have quite a few extra stickers. I give them to anyone needing vintage bike parts.
We don't artificially bump prices up to give discounts - that's what many companies do. As nearly all our customers belong to a club or online forum, we'd be giving discounts to everyone...
The vault - I wish I could fill it with money... if only I could turn tax records into dollar bills I'd be rich...

I also decided to drive on over and pop in when I first discovered Z1 Enterprises, but at that time Jeff was running the business out of his house. He was very kind and showed me his bikes instead of running me off, but I did feel a bit bad for just showing up.
Their new building is actually at the end of the street I lived on when I was in High School, but now I have my parts shipped to Texas.

Can't say enough about the service from Z1 Enterprises ! I live on the West coast of Canada, I ordered some coils online for my 81 GPz1100 but asked a couple of questions via email be fore placing the order. On the Tuesday I get a phone call from an area code I don't recognize... Guess Who ?? Jeff was calling me to go over exactly what I needed and to confirm that he could help me out!
Thats what I call service !! Coils came in and the bike is running perfect
