Webike's Opinion

Here is a "KAWASAKI Z900RS CAFE" custom by Webike community user "yas". The owner bought this Z900RS CAFE after he fell in love with its stylish looks at first sight. He confidently says that the Z900RS is an outstanding motorcycle in every respect, leaving no sense of regret about the purchase. In addition to its great appearance, its rarity often attracts attention from others and he often gets comments about the bike. He also notes that the engine starts easily and delivers a riding experience that's fast and reminiscent of a supersport bike. To amplify that sporty feel, he opted for the STRIKER Street Concept High-Mount Titanium Full Exhaust System. Known for excelling in sporty styling, STRIKER enhances the retro appearance of the bike with a sporty touch. Most of the custom parts on this bike, including the frame sliders, fender eliminator kit, radiator core guard, and rearsets kit, were also chosen from STRIKER. This brand focuses on designing parts that look great first, and then builds on that to ensure enhanced functionality. This approach resonates with the owner, who also places a strong emphasis on design.

According to the owner, the bike's main drawback was its poor footing. This issue was addressed with an EFFEX Lowering Kit, which reduced the seat height by 2cm. Improved footing can significantly change the rider's confidence in the bike. When footing is poor, there’s always the worry of tipping over every time the bike comes to a stop. Lowering the seat height has made riding much more comfortable and secure.

Additionally, the stock steps, which often scraped the ground when turning and didn’t suit the owner, were replaced with the STRIKER Sports Touring Concept (STC) Footpeg Kit. This kit allows for adjustments that create a comfortable touring position. Its design reduces foot fatigue during long rides by providing a broad surface for the feet, rather than a single point. Furthermore, the plates and pedals feature minimal cutouts to enhance rigidity, helping to minimize damage to individual components in the event of a fall.
