I'm an ex Kwak rider, my last one was ZZR1100, sold it in 2004 after an encounter with a badger on a North Devon country road. Unbelievable acceleration and a top end in the 190's

Haven't had any scary encounters in the Zed and long may it continue

just been reading about the body bracing kits strut brace butt strut (is this a BDSM site ) & body brace are they worth fitting to the Z

 

[t-tony]

One certainly made a difference to my Z3 Kat, the Z4 have body brace bars from factory from the strut towers back to the centre of the bulkhead. Most people add a cross brace between the strut tops and I may well do so.

[katkwak]

ok thinking of doing the same and fit all 3

 

[katkwak]

well what as stroke of luck i had a old M reg 316 the 1 with the lift up bonnet forwards & still have the haynes manual which includes the z3 & also found the old engine oil reset gagets which resets the service lights

I never knew you was a biker as well Tec.....you dark horse .
A mate had one of them with after market cans on,one of the baffles ejected itself from the exhaust and just missed me as we we're going through a tunnel in France the noise was incredible after that you could feel it through your body.

Yes I do, but I'm glad I went onto four wheels or I wouldn't be here now.
