Z900 Restoration

Here is a Kawasaki Z900 thats been in storage for 7-8 years. The client assured me it hadn't done a lot of work so we pulled off the head and barrell and replaced the pistons with a big bore Wiseco kit, cleaned up the cylinder head and ports, and welded up the broken fins.

As you can see there was a lot of prep work welding and shaping new fins - you wouldn't know it was ever damaged, now.

To finish it off we painted all the bodywork and he supplied a Deep Purple album cover thats been air brushed onto the tank - how retro is that!

Z1000 Restoration

Most would have said it's beyond redemption, but we'll let you decide that. No part was left to chance on this bike, you could say it's a new bike again with some modifications. 1045cc piston kit, ported head, 29mm smooth bore carbies, 4-1 exhaust. The chassis as been braced, and gold valve emulators and springs enhance the forks, YSS shocks to match on the rear.
Have a look at the cylinder head repair and see if you can spot it.

Kawasaki GT750 Restoration

The Kawasaki GT750 was a great touring bike in its day - nothing special, just good old common sense and super reliable. With some modifications to the engine, flat slide carbies and a really good clean-up this bike now puts out 75hp at the rear wheel with loads of torque. You can do anything if you really want to!

Ducati Imola 900

This bike started out as an S2 imported from Japan looking a little worse for wear and running on 1 cylinder. We transformed it into a replica of the classic Ducati 900ss Imola of the 1970's.
