The beauty is lots of new parts available to help restore your bikes, I enjoy riding my z650b, there is always someone who remembers one, underrated classic. 👍

Considering buying a z650 c1 but resto has a couple of issues and spare parts like seat, tank badges, etc are a concern. Good luck with your projects

@alexandermccarthy12 күн бұрын

You're right to be concerned as spare parts for the Z650 as the aftermarket really don't exist.

Hi there. Do you do many of these? As I have a 2017 that I would be interested in doing a conversion on.

@alexandermccarthy16 күн бұрын

Hi mate. Yes, we've done dozens of these conversions.

What do you do with the radio boxes that you remove from the bikes?

@alexandermccarthy5 ай бұрын

In most cases we retain the parts which are removed during the conversion process.

Hi mate. The kit is $2450 + freight and includes three new OEM rear panels in the correct police white, OEM rider and pillion seats, all mounting hardware, and the OEM luggage rack.

I had one of the original 1973 Kawasaki,903s.. when they came out with the 1000 CC model. I was working as a motorcycle mechanic and a Kawasaki shop. There was an obvious difference in power. They went to smaller carburetors with a 1000. It carbureted. smoother than the 903, but it was definitely slower, but it had better manners.. Smaller carburetors, have higher intake, velocities, and make for a better Carburetion at low speeds

Hello my friend, I own a bike r1200rtp 2010 that was previously for the police, and now I ride it after it was out of service. All the police lights and sirens were removed. Can I use the previous operating switches on the handlebar to use them to operate the LED auxiliary lights? Thank you.

@alexandermccarthy6 ай бұрын

Indeed you can, but you'll need to use a relay to control the power and work with an auto electrician to plan, design and install the circuit properly.

@alexandermccarthy8 ай бұрын

@@marklast2900If you've removed the pollution controls, you can leave the other stuff. The diaphragm type fuel petcocks are notoriously bad, so I usually cap the vacuum port on the petcock and on the carb side.

Nice bike but it does sound like a bag of spanners! Serious setup required.

@policebikes8 ай бұрын

Always the way when you bring them back to life after years of sitting dormant. In this case though, the bike will be heading to my preferred servicing partner for a full and complete major service which will include replacing all fluids and filtres, valve clearance adjustment and everything else up make it purr.
