[Saibot]

Anyone here bought the 2011 black z1000 from bukit merah n sent it for dyno at hkl?

[zinedine]

Saw a black 2010 z1000 with side panniers at cck just now. Soooooo nice......

 

Hi bros,

 

may i ask for the older z1000s, what type of panniers are suitable for the bike? Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers!

Lol, funny you asked, I was just considering a H&B for myself

There's pretty much nothing for the older gen, just look at the tail, all plastic. Your best bet is to use a throw-over saddle if you have the rear mudguard on so that you can tie the bottom of the saddlebag. Those with fender eliminator may work if you have your signal lights sticking out but you risk breaking the lights. I would prefer a tank bag.

 

 

Ben: Wanna arrange the next service together so that we can change the airbox? I normally go HKL but don't mind trying others. I just service last month though so the next one is around Aug. Can go earlier. Let me know.

Yes sure, I'm fine with any shop as long as the labor is of reasonable quality. Wanna swap forks too?

Might want to consider a rear box for bigger storage, GIVI makes one for the 1st generation Z1000/Z750.

I stand corrected.

 

If Givi has it, then H&B may too.

Dude u went by upp thomson juz now?

[DrRipper]

Ya. Saw your bike and was trying to find you a I was passing by. Tweaked by handlebars, not ride like a motard super comfy

[b3nn]

I stand corrected.

They do have the racks for H&B, check this out. http://www.sportmotogear.com/Kawasaki_Z1000_03_06_Rear_Rack_Black_p/hb%20650.296%2001%2001.htm

 

H&B is costly though. Maybe the GIVI pannier bags will suffice.

That's nice! Suits the Zed's design nicely!

[terrormania]

nice panniers but from the looks of it think need to install brackets for it... unlike those with straps for fastening....

[DrRipper]

Nope not at all. Let's arrange details when it gets closer.

Hi, anyone has good lobang / recommendation for Z1000 tires?

[S750WP]

Hi, anyone has good lobang / recommendation for Z1000 tires?

 

My current set of tires, from previous owner, is Michelin Pilot Power 2CT, very sticky tires even though the grooves in the middle are almost bald, warms up very quickly, very good grip in dry and wet weathers.

 

Since I dont go track, my next set of tires will be Pirelli Diablo Strada, sports touring tires, easy on the wallet, long lasting tires, good grip for dry and wet weathers.
