Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks Sid..still waiting for him to wheel her outta the garage for a few "done" pix. Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Nice KZ. For a while those KZ were the King of the Hill bikes, unbeatable. Nice paint job. That guy is going to be stoked. Let's....all...do...the time warp...agaaaaaaaiiiiiin...... Love the older bikes. Definitely easier to work on. I'm a Suzuki guy myself: '68 250 X-6 Hustler, '71 T500, '72 GT750 water buffalo, '76 Harley Sportster, '71 Harley FL, '76 GS750, and, now, a GS1100E: Mine's a bit beat and has a Yoshimura exhaust, but you get the idea. The GS1100 and the KZ1000 are considered UJM's: Ultimate Japanese Motorcycle. Nice Suzuki. I got a Honda CB750F ( 82 ). I jusy sent my rear wheel ( stock 2.50 in wide ) to Kosman for widening. Not cheap, but I wanted to do it for a long time. I like the look of the stock "Comstar" wheel, but wide. I will have it made to 5 in. It will look awesome, and with a fat tire ( 180/55/18 ) it will take on cornering like a charm. Later on I will go for the front wheel, from 2.15 to 3.5in. I also have a 1100F engine ( my bike came in 3 versions, 750, 900 and 1100 ) that I will rebuild this winter and swap in . Nobody will know what I have ( a 1100engine ) so all the unsuspecting will suffer humilliating defeats courtesy of my 750 Honda!:D Jaime.________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment

LeDevil Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Turned out really good, What is the paint code for the House of kolor? Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ahhh I just found this thread, Nice KZ. I always had a soft spot for it. The goose approves post had me laughing lol. I personally want the GPZ750t the 1100 is really sweet too. They are like the younger brother to the KZ unless I'm mistaken? There was one parked idling a block from me like a week ago, had be drooling. They are just so hard to find in the condition I'd like. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ill have to look & see what the paint code is. I do know it's a 90's GM color. The flake is "micro flake" royal blue made by house of color. Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 until i go flying by you on this: I like Datsuns, not FWD plastic ricers. Bikewise, I do not like plastic either. Sorry, not impressed. Jaime,._____________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment

Guest jaimesix Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I like the GPZ 1100 81-83. It has a big gas tank and looks mean. Been hunting for one, not easy to find a good one and inexpensive....it will take me a while. Jaime.____________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ya I know that well. I have been hunting for the 80's GPZt 750 for years now. I can either only find them perfect or not at all. Worth the hunt though on both counts. That 1100 is a monster. Quote Link to comment

Most bikes I see ( GPZ 1100 ) go for an arm and 2 legs.....:cursing: Patience...patience.....:lol: Jaime.____________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment
