Kawasaki Other description

This is a two owner 1975 Kawasaki 500 H1, the previous owner was a older gentleman who polished and loved this bike but was unable to finish the restoration.  Tank, Side covers, tail section paint and decal was was completely restored by Russ Foy of Custom Classic. Russ clear coats with several coats to protect the decals from gas spills.  Russ is nationally recognized for his work and is by far the best motorcycle painter in the Northwest, he paints for The local Harley, Ducati, as well as many other motorcycle dealers.  To get a paintwork from Russ would cost you a minimum of $1500 plus.  The paint is stunning!!!! 


Original mileage is 9354.1  This is such a near pristine looking bike.  It is all original including the spark plug holder and tool kit. The intake boot is a new after market one from Z1 parts com.
Gauges are in excellent condition. Everything that could be polished was and the chrome is in very good to excellent condition.  Everything was taken apart and cleaned by the previous owner. Not dirt on it. Original pipes not copies.  Tires appear to be recent as well.  The seat is original with a few tears at the seams, these are available for around $70.  The interior under the seat is very clean, this was a full restoration start that needs just a little TLC to have a a great collectable.

The owner just could not finish the restoration,  I have not run the bike but after lubricating the cylinders I kick over and found it had very good compression in all cylinders.   The owner told me it ran excellent before he started the restoration. I purchased the triple with the intent of finishing and keeping it for my own but I need to downsize my collection.  Thirty and counting. . I have not hook up the fuel lines start the engine.  Here is chance to own one of the most sought after iconic Kawasaki's.  Shipping is up to the buyer and there is a non refundable $500 deposit. It is a beautiful motorcycle with all metal tins, no plastic which is getting rare these days. Happy bidding,,,,

AMA Pro Racing Announces Basic Twins Flat Track Class for 2014 Season

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

AMA Pro Racing announced a new class for Flat Track racing designed to provide a new stepping stone for up-and-coming Pro-licensed racers, replacing the Pro Singles class in 2014. The new class, to be called Basic Twins, is more or less a revival of the Basic Expert Twins division that ran during the 2007 and 2008 seasons, but dropped when the Pro Singles class was introduced for 2009. The new class will give young racers a chance to showcase their skills on Twins, easing their transition to eventually enter the Grand National Expert Twins class.

K-Tech release 25SSK for Big Piston Forks

Mon, 21 May 2012

K-Tech have released their popular 25SSK front fork open cartridge system to fit all Showa Big Piston Forks. Here's what K-Tech have to say about them: These lightweight aluminium units are supplied to the same exacting specification as all other 25SSK fitments with 14mm piston rods and a 25mm cartridge tube, the 14mm piston rods displace a large volume of oil through the 25mm control pistons giving enhanced damping characteristics over the standard Big Piston Fork and allow a bigger volume of air for a more precise feel at the bottom of the fork travel. The cartridge kits have compression and rebound adjustment in both legs and are supplied with 1.5mm Flow Control Valves for a more accurate adjustment, all necessary hardware is supplied to convert the Big Piston Forks to take the cartridges but it is necessary to order the springs you require as these are not included, customer price for the 25SSK cartridges is £725.00 + VAT and are available for the following models:- Honda CBR1000RR 2012 Kawasaki ZX6-R 2009-2012 Kawasaki ZX10-R 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR600 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR1000 2009-2012 Contact K-Tech on: +44(0)1283 559007.
