Well based on all the info supplied so far i would suggest as follows;

Your petrol tap should have 2 outlets. I don’t know what bike the one with 3 outlets is off but it appears to me that the blanked off spiggot is a mod to allow it to work on your bike. If you decide to use this one then make sure the spiggot is sealed properly.

Yeah i agree there if those parts were used. I was mainly looking at the frame mod. Ohlins to me are very expensive and i don’t ride hard enough to need them. I would probably use KYB’s like i have on my ZRX. Probably LTD forks and standard powder coated spoke wheels. God im so tight with money 😀

Hi metalguru

I think they were different colours but hopefully you will find your answer here Kawasaki Paints

I don’t have a shim tool but they can be done carefully with a screw driver. Let me know what sizes you need and i will see if i can find them for you

I do remember her mate and i can’t wait to get her back home one day. I miss her 🙁

That would be 533 miles for me. Perfectly rideable. Hope i could fit that in with my other trips in 2014

Cheers Michael. That may end up being our only answer but i have not given up yet 😕

Good photo mate. I can tell everyone she looks much better in the flesh.

Now this wirirng . . .

Ever heard the phrase ‘A friend in need???’ Well its piggin true i can tell you lol.

It is down to the descretion of the tester as to the noise but bikes earlier than 1983 arn’t as strict

Yeah. Singer Z900 sewing machine ya mean? 😀

It sounds good to me.

I have not thought about where but i will do now. Do you have any ideas or indeed does anyone else?

Thats good information and advice Michael. We also have a carb conversion here that we do. We put GPZ500 carbs on. These give much better perfomance and reliability, as if we need more 😀

Hi Tango,
I wrote a long story but couldn’t post it => time out ;-(
Go for the K+Ns, it is like a music instrument ;-)))
Main jets 5 to 10% larger,
needle may be good in position 4 (counted from top)
idle jet can stay the same or just one number larger.
Good luck !
Michael

BS34 (LTD) carb story with lot of photos

I did have one. I will check n let you know mate

Thats a very kind offer.

As much as i would love to attend your meeting Michael i fear i have too much on this year but you just never know . . .

We are keeping in touch for 2014 though which is plenty of time for everyone to arrange to attend

Nice work Tango and keep the posts coming. I use washing up liquid and a piece of 3″ x 2″ 😀

Do you have a date in mind for the big fire up?

Oh wow !!!

Hi Tango,
that is a remarkable progress !
Starts looking like a bike ;-)))

The seat and the rear fairing look like the 1980 G-model from the USA. Are they?

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Tango,
