Z650 Ebay result

Discussion in 'Classic Motorbikes' started by The Older Gentleman, Sep 10, 2006.

  1. Bought a complete Z650/Z900 instrument console set (it's actually
    exactly the same unit for both bikes, which I didn't realise) in order
    to source a proper speedo, instead of the horribleUS-spec 85mph one
    fitted.

    Cost: £56.

    Fitted the speedo, and flogged the surplus rev counter, idiot light
    panel and mounting bracket as separate items.

    Recouped: £47.

    So £9 for a genuine Kawasaki speedo.

    Now to try the same trick with the complete fork/yoke/front wheel and
    rear wheel set I paid £102 for. All I wanted was the extra caliper[1]
    for doubling up the front discs. Caliper now salted away, and remianing
    caliper being sold as one lot, forks as another, and wheels as a pair.
    We shall see.....

    [1] Absolute rocking horse shit, as I've now discovered.
