The Joy of Control: KAWASAKI GPZ900R Custom
Webike's Opinion
Here is a "KAWASAKI GPZ900R" custom by Webike community user "TEZU@GPZ900R". To enhance braking performance, a NISSIN Radial Brake Master Cylinder Kit is installed, providing direct feel and superior control the moment you squeeze the lever. To lighten the clutch operation feel, a NISSIN Radial Clutch Master Cylinder Kit is also installed. Both feature smoke tanks, giving the handlebars a chic appearance.
The seat is a DAYTONA COZY Seat, which is highly popular among bikers who tour long distances. The seat bolster section is set higher to stabilize the rider's position during acceleration, and the luxurious high resilience sitting comfort helps reduce fatigue. For the often-damaged seat lock, a Bagus! Motorcycle Aluminum Seat Lock PLUS, made from machined aluminum for excellent durability, is chosen. It is a part worth replacing before the stock resin part breaks to ensure smooth opening and closing of the seat. To prevent frame deformation due to the weight of the engine, since the GPZ900R lacks a lower frame, an ACTIVE Down Tube is mounted to increase frame rigidity. Additionally, AGRAS Racing Sliders are attached to protect the bike in the event of a fall. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a part you want to install before hitting the road after buying a bike.
To complement the FADDY DADDY clip-on handlebars, WR's Battle Footpegs are equipped, which improve grip and control, enhancing the bike's handling. This setup also makes it easier to grip the tank with your knees, further increasing the sense of unity with the machine.
