1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 Caf? Racer

I have been building caf? racers for ten years and I built this one last summer. The bike is a 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000A engine and frame that has been completely redone. The engine was removed and the frame de tabbed and taken down to bare metal. The frame was inspected for any stress fractures in the welds and none were found. The frame was then hand sanded primed and painted. The engine was right at 15000 miles so I removed the top end and put new pistons and rings in it. I inspected the valves cams and cam bearings. The engine was assembled and put back in the frame as new. The donor bike for the front fork assy and rear swing arm was from a 1995 Suzuki RF900R. The front end assy was mounted with new bearings and races from All Balls racing. The rear swing are mono shock was removed and new shock tabs from Z1 Enterprises were installed for the classic two shock configuration. The electrical system has a new stator and regulator rectifier combination. Also new dog ears headlight and taillight assy. I have also added a 6lb lithium Ion battery. The original battery was 11 lbs. so nice weight reduction and improved cranking amp power. The rear sets are off of a 2007 GXR 1000 with new shift arrangement from Fast from the Past and shifts nice and smooth. The engine is a 1015 cc KZ1000 from 1977 rated at 95 stock hp. The carbs have been rebuilt and jetted for the new Moto GP Works exhaust and Unit pods. The Nissan front and rear brakes are bled and have incredible stopping power. The bike was built over the summer of 2014 with a total of 120 man hours and the attention to detail make this a Caf? Racer that performs in a straight line or in the twisties.

My builds have been featured on Pipe burn Silidrome and Grease and Gasoline. Just Google KZ1000 Caf? Racer and I will be at the top. Silver Bullit Cafes out of Spokane Washington. Please email or call me for a list of new parts modifications and a history of the build. I have cataloged the build in pictures as I always do and the bike has not got the photo shoot yet. The pictures posted are not the best because I am a builder not a photographer hence the photo shoot. No expense was spared on this build and the bike is solid to show or go. This Caf? Racer is bare bones with only the essentials of headlight turn signals taillight and speedometer. Stash tube for registration insurance papers and spare fuse spark plugs and basic tools.

Just a few features

New front and rear Avon tires front counter shaft sprocket and new chain. New rear shocks. New seat pan and seat pad. New taillight assy headlight assy. The bike was painted Viper Blue with a White Stripe last summer then clear coated.
