Well Ive almost finished the Z13's winter freshen up :)
Carbs back on and sync / balanced, air box and covers in place - she revs freely and cleanly, with a good smooth tickover.
First time Ive fired her up since fitting the louder pipes and there is certainly a bit more volume now :whistle: :whistle:




Just awaiting the (Kwak candy burnt lime) paintset from the sprayer - cant wait to get her back on the road again; winter seems to have gone on forever.

Cheers Tim

The sport mufflers sure look good on your bike! We are also waiting for the riding season to start up here in Finland.

The sport mufflers in stainless steel are available at www.kawasaki1300parts.com

Well, I finally finished Zed13 freshen up (for this winter anyway) - collected my paintset a few days ago and I've been puttting the old girl back together.

I am pleased with the end result; its taken a bit of effort (CCT / Carbs Rebuild / Brake Rebuild / New Seat / Sports Exhaust / etc etc): and am glad I went with an alternate but genuine old school Kawa colour (Candy Burnt Lime) - seems to work with the lines and "era" of the bike.













Now if we could have some nice Spring weather - it would be lovely to put some miles on her.
Cheers Tim

That's a good colour, Tim. The finish looks to be to a high standard too. The bike looks very neat with lauri's stainless sport mufflers - are you pleased with them?
