Webike's Opinion

Here is a "KAWASAKI ZEPHYR1100" custom by Webike community user "Makio". For the exhaust, a Wyvern single-type exhaust from r's gear is installed. The rainbow colored exhaust pipes are exquisite. It is significantly lighter than stock and contributes to better mobility. The dynamic and smooth exhaust sound of the 1100cc 4-cylinder engine will be more enjoyable with this exhaust. And even after replacing the exhaust, engine oil and oil filter changes can be done without removing the exhaust and center stand is also compatible.

For the handlebar, HARDY's Handlebar Brace has been installed. Mounting electronic devices such as mobiles and USB ports near handlbar is definitely recent trends. In addition to increasing the strength of the handlebars, it also offers a mounting space for meeting such needs. And the metallic blue color adds a nice accent in the handlebar area.

Naked bikes are very popular among riders because of its easy riding postition. However, they have a greatest weakness. That is the strong wind pressure from the front at high speeds. This is the nemesis of them. Therefore, the owner installed GULL CRAFT's cowl to reduce such wind pressure as much as possible without spoiling the beauty of the Zephyr.

For the chain, a QX ring seal chain made by EK Chain is equipped. As the product name suggests, Ek's proprietary QX rings are used for the sealing instead of ordinary O-rings. This ring has 50% less friction and is 50% more durable than a regular O-ring. In addition, through stress-strain analysis of the chain, Ek succeeded in making holes in the plate without reducing its strength and making the chain lighter. The gold color, which is not too flashy, matches very well with Kawasaki's beautiful wine-colored body. The chain, which does not compromise on appearance or performance, enhances the overall score of the bike.

Each motorcycle engine has its own character and it is no exaggeration to say that enjoying the unique exhaust sound is one of the real pleasures of owning a motorcycle. But if you want to enjoy it, nothing begins without a spark plug. This 1994 Zephyr's plugs have been replaced with NGK's MotoDX plugs. This plug has better performance than the ordinary one due to a ruthenium-containing center electrode and a special ground electrode shape that improve acceleration, durability, fouling resistance, fuel economy, startability, etc. Although plug replacement is a customization that cannot be seen from the outside, it is a great unseen customization that makes the rider enjoy riding the bike even more.
