|||||||Hello and Welcome weaponizedFunk

Glad you’ve made it on to the site ok. That is a nice stable you are keeping. I have a ZRX1200R as well as my fleet of 750 twins. It serves a different purpose in my life.

Good to see you survived your paint balling weekend. Did your son?

Enjoy the site

It was a great day out Tango and Thank You for sharing your pictures.

It started off as an attempt to break the UK record of 5-750 twins in the same place. We were on course for 6 but sadly 2 had to pull out so 4 of us turned up, Tango, Magpie, Trevorbuster and Kaptainkwak’ Lonesome did turn up but unfortunately he had to come in his car.

Well after speaking to Beachcomber I need to make positive amendment’s to my previous post.

The cost of standard Kawasaki studs is £9 each. That is £72 for 8.
The cost of standard Kawasaki nuts is £6.50 each That is £52 for 8

Total cost of standard Kawasaki parts (8 of each) is £124

Beachcomber is offering a full set of studs and nuts (8 of e…[Read more]

AN AMMENDMENT TO THIS POST CAN BE SEEN A FEW POSTS DOWN

Production begins in September? WOW that is fast ha ha (I have confirmed he meant November)

So as we may know the 4 centre studs are not enclosed and therefore prone to corrosion and build up of road muck which in turn makes the barrels very difficult to remove. – None corroding bolts  -…[Read more]

Hello Ownthesky

This is a great thread. I really love seeing how enthusiastic people can get when starting a project of this magnitude. The bike didn’t look as bad as it is turning out to be.

I am very impressed with the kick start mod. Did you make the pin yourself? And those carbs!!! I agree they are horrendous. Have you cleaned it all with…[Read more]

Hi Edmund

Long time no speak.

It’s a shame you’ve decided to sell your G.  I know you have put quite a bit into her so some lucky punter should get a good bike.

Anyway keep in touch

Sorry Beachcomber I’ve not been around much lately as busy celebrating my birthday and enjoying some time with my son who is visiting from Australia. Give me a couple of days and I will catch up with you again

Hi Richard and welcome to the site.

The picture is not the bike I thought it was but it does look a pretty good place to start a restoration.

Please feel free to browse the site and ask away with any questions.

It will be great to see your restoration as it happens so keep us updated.

Cheers

Hi Airedale

It is a bit of an issue here in the UK as they are not aware of the various models around.

I am insured with Carole Nash and they do recognise the B1. My CSR is also down as a B1 though ha ha.

I was previously with bennets and I think they recognised the B1 as well.

Hope this helps

It looks like it’s really taking shape now.

Well done mate and don’t forget to shout up if you need anything

Now that is weird.

I can only guess it has something to do with the additives in the fuel. Fingers crossed it is cured now.

Hi Richh

Hope you had a good holiday.

I have never had a problem with repair kits. I have got mine from NRP. If you have had more than one failure that would suggest to me there is a faulty with the parts of the tap itself. Have you checked it over?

We missed you at the Raven today.

So it is now true.

Nice one Richh.

I am hoping to join you in the next month or so when my B1 completes restoration

Hi Alfredo

I have attached a picture showing the only fuel height dimensions I am aware of. It seems a bit primitive and is a bit of messing about but it does work.

With regards to your other questions, fitting pods reduces the resistance of the air being sucked through the carbs compared to the set up with the airbox. This in turn reduces the…[Read more]

I am quite intrigued as to this one Philpass. In my opinion it is looking like your best project so far.

Keep it up sir

Hi KennyS and welcome back.

An interesting problem I one I must say I haven’t experienced.

The first thing that comes to mind is have you got the KICK SHAFT GUIDE 13070-005 fitted?

I must admit Beachcomber I am a little lost with the depth some of your ideas as to whether or not they are the right thing to do but I am so interested and mesmerised with the developing projects.

Keep it going mate

Hi Evil Twin and welcome to the new site.

It’s a shame the engine is seized and that the frame has been hacked. However I have sent you a PM

Happy 2018 to every twin lover out there.

May it be a Lonesome one

Think your right Beachy. Might be time to pull the plug?

Well you boys have a cracking Lonesome Christmas and all for the right reasons.

Have a prosperous New Year too

Cheers for the support guys
