For Miniking, Re ZL 1000 Drag Times

Hey Miniking, Found theese Numbers in an Eliminator Report, First is From Cycle Magazine, Standing Start 11.14 Sec at 119.21 MPH,Second is From Cycle World, 11.73 at 113.99 MPH. Dont Forget the Bike Magazines Usualy get a Top Notch Drag Racer to get Theese Times, In the Mid 80's it was Probaly Jay Gleeson, Hope this Helps, Later Rocky.
 
Dale Walker told me that the 900's that he had at his drag school, on occasion he could hit a 10.9 with his pipes and jets. In my conversation with him he told me that the bikes are capable of this with the mods and that I just have to be able to ride it to make it happen. Which I completely agree with as racing and riding on the street are two different worlds. So I guess that next year it is Practice, practice, practice. Tomorrow I am planning on ordering his pipes and a stage 1 jet kit. Is this going to make a difference that I can feel pretty obviously in the bike? Just curious as to the sound and the feel of these items. I just want to play with racing and get more consistant in my riding so I am having fun with the 12.20's but I feel like there is a lot left in the bike. Later
Miniking :twisted:
 
By the way thank you so much for your time and interest. There is no other bike that I would rather have to ride. I love my ELI.
Miniking :twisted:
 
Hey Miniking, Would not Trade Mine for Anything, Dont Forget you Dont see theese BABYS on Every Street Corner. If you Need any Help[ Especialy geting the Jet Kit In] Give me a Buzz, Pipes are a Piece of Cake, Later Rocky. :twisted:
 
Hey Miniking, The 900's are a Little more Nimble on the Top End where the 1000 has the Low and Midrange GRUNT, Which is what I Love about Mine, Dont Forget we Carry Twice the Gas, Later Rocky. :twisted:
 
It is supposed to be nice here tomorrow, I sure hope my Holeshots show up cause I have no mufflers on it and I need to ride and I want to here those pipes.

Does anyone know the part number for the original Kawasaki Handlebars for the 1985 ZL900? The ones that were on there when I got it are a bit too long and have a slight kink in them.

Thanks for any help.

Good luck in getting them my friend :good luck: after my acccident this summer I ordered alot of new parts for her including handlebars and i ended up getting the front foot peg assembly the rubber for the assembly the speed clock cover and a few other small parts reflectors. Everything elce was out of stock or no longer available.

I heard the stock bars on the 900 were commonly known as the "Daytona" bend, I dunno if this is true, but that's what a little bird told me, I think!

Yup she is up and runnin :cool10: I got to make a overnight trip and a few small trips on her before winter set in.I just need one of the knee pad assembly not right shur which one,she looks fine without them on her though.Thinkin a set of clubman bars for her this year I think they are also called caferacer bars.The clocest lookin bars to the 900 i would think is the V MAX bars.

I couldn't get the original bars, but a mate of mine got me some similar ones, but a bit higher than stock.
 
Hey ACP,
you said that you got some bars for your Eli that were a little higher than stock.
Where did you get them from and how much ?
Cheers,
Keep On Eliminating.
Vin :whax:
 
Hey Vin, not sure where they're from, my girlfriends dad got them and put them on while I was on holiday. I'll try and find out for you tonight.

good ole dennis kirk, has replacement bars, the bars are called a Daytona bend, the you can get the rise in variouse diff sizes. other than the clip-on style (GPZ stuff) I dont think any company produces "bars" exclusive, they buy then just like we do and put thier own part number on them

ACP.....Is that the new bars in the gallery?

I like the look of the higher bars. looks like a vmax feels. I don't like mine, they seem to put too much weight on my wrists.

Do you have stock cables?
 
Hey Mark,

Yes those are the higher bars, they do take a lot of weight off of your wrists because you're sat slightly more upright with them. Which is a good thing for my shoulder.

I still haven't managed to find where he got them, or a part number. I only had time to ask him if he's free this weekend to help me fit my new light and dials :D
