 Posted: 01:10 - 14 Feb 2011 Post subject: Parts for old Kwakas |
 |
|
Not sure if this should be in 'Workshop' (I'm sure it will get moved, if deemed necessary) but I reckoned 'General' would get more exposure.
I'm already aware of Z Power as a place to get lots of bits for old Kwakas, but are they the David Silver of Kawasaki parts, or is there somewhere better?

https://www.usedkawasakiparts.com/ I've seen this site mentioned in magazines and flicked through the price sheet when I was weighing the potential cost for my GPZ project, I think you've got to ring them up to see if they actually have the parts they list though. Worth a shot? |

Thanks for the replies so far.
Kdub, that looks like a useful site, I'll keep that one handy.
Cansa, looks like Cradley don't really offer much, although that doesn't surprise me, I wouldn't expect Kawasaki to support my bike.
Karoshi, unfortunately you're right, mine is aircooled and shares nothing with the later GPZs, although there's probably a few bits shared with early the GPZ1100 and Z1000J.
I guess one of the disadvantages of owning a bike that wasn't very common new, is that now they can be a struggle. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

I wasn't thinking of anything in particular, it's just useful to know where you can go, especially when your bike is getting on for 30 years old.
It's also handy to have a choice, that way there's more chance of getting what you need at a sensible price. |
Well stay the hell away from OEM engine stuff, aftermarket stuff is half the price... you REALLY don't want to price up a head gasket.. |
Luckily, when I bought the bike, a full gasket set (along with some other spares) was thrown in; unluckily, the van I was going to use to pick it up, broke down at the last minute, so I had to go by train and I couldn't take the spare engine  ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
