From Black to White: KAWASAKI ZEPHYR1100 Custom

 4 min read

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "KAWASAKI ZEPHYR1100" custom by Webike community user "Tosan". A bike that was love at first sight. The photo of the black body is from shortly after purchase. Compared to back then, the change to a white body color gives the bike a completely different look.

The exhaust is a Yoshimura Titanium Full Exhaust, known for its durability and easy maintenance. The brilliant blue heat tint of the titanium stands out beautifully. The handlebars have been swapped for clip-ons, allowing for a more forward-leaning riding position, reducing air resistance, and enabling a sportier riding experience. The headlight is by CIBIE, chosen for its exceptional quality, including the case. The "CIBIE" engraving on the top of the lens satisfies the sense of ownership. The lens cut is also extremely refined, showcasing the prowess of a long-established brand. The carburetor has been replaced with a YOSHIMURA TMR-MJN Carburetor. The MJN (Multiple Jet Nozzle) system's fine fuel particles contribute to improved engine output and throttle response. These fine fuel particles also promote complete combustion, reducing CO (carbon monoxide) and HC (hydrocarbon) emissions, making the exhaust gases cleaner. To tackle the heat issues that are the enemy of air-cooled engines, a PLOT Round Oil Cooler System has been installed to enhance cooling performance.

The suspension has been upgraded to OHLINS at both the front and rear, offering a wide range of adjustment features that provide the joy of finding what works best for you. This upgrade offers lasting enjoyment as you savor the ultimate ride comfort for years to come.
