1984 Kawasaki ZN1100 Bobber, finally finished! Lets go ride.

[@User6327]

+1 for not ripping it down the driveway on essentially someone else's bike. Sounds good, sounds smooth.

I liked the ending of the video description and have enjoyed watching your videos. I too have to let go toys to purchase news one. Latest project, has been aquiring parts to a honda 250es big red. Its good to see someone else who does not have an endless supply of money and appreciates keeping vintage machinery roadworthy.

[@velocigecko]

Damn... I would not be able to let a sexy bike like that go, even if it's in rough shape.

[@mrmaxstorey]

@hulk182003 Thanks man, bringing these worthy bikes back from junk status and onto the road again on a budget is what I'm all about. And oh I had a 250 big red a while back, but I traded it for a KZ305, another project down the line. Fun little machine tho.

[@ybot1983]

the outline looks great

[@andrewjanik7048]

no prob, thanks ill check it out

[@LiveToRidee]

@mrmaxstorey it's crazy how they took a cruiser and made it look like a sport bike pretty beast

[@mrmaxstorey]

@SuperInveco Thanks man yeah I miss that one

[@blipco5]

Very cool. Very cool indeed. I'll bet you miss it.

[@bboy1022]

That's similar to how my 81 cb750 looks but I wish I had an 1100

[@mrmaxstorey]

Clip ons you can get them on ebay

[@mrmaxstorey]

@excriminal1 Thanks dude

[@mrmaxstorey]

Sorry man, its been so long I really can't remember. I seem to recall tho that I was searching around on kzrider I think, and I found the recommended jet setting for pods, altho it still ran a little lean so I had to bump it up one step richer. Sorry I couldnt be of more help

[@mrmaxstorey]

@velocigecko Haha yea it was tough for sure. The buyer paid a premium for my emotional attachment.

[@Michiganborn1969]

Wow! Kinda weird looking bike especially on the tail end. Reminds me of those cats that have there tail snipped.

[@mrmaxstorey]

Sorry man no idea

[@mrmaxstorey]

You might see a video on that sooner rather than later, I have a bobber project planned

[@mrmaxstorey]

The most I think was 80K

[@gwdb88]

ok thanks...i love the look you have its exactly what i want for my kz550... how did you lower the forks in the front? are those the stock forks or are there some aftermarket ones?

[@mrmaxstorey]

Honestly man hate to say it, but I dont remember where they came from. Its been a long time and there have been many bikes in between...

[@TacoMoFoKo]

I have this bike and can't find any side cover replacements anywhere. Your makeshift ones look decent though.

[@mrmaxstorey]

@djcellx12 lol thats what I thought too

[@mrmaxstorey]

Man that was a couple of years ago, I dont really remember, might have been from a kz1000

[@mrmaxstorey]

@REIGHN5 Haha damn kids never call anymore

[@andrewjanik7048]

nice bike!! in fact i have the same one and just ordered the k&n air filter pods and was wondering if you remember what size jets you used when you rejetted the carbs. i cant seem to find much info or parts for the bike any info would be much appreciated..

[@MEDINAHSHRINER]

Don't try to fly faster than you gardian angel can fly. So mote it be!

[@mrmaxstorey]

@Michiganborn1969 Haha thats funny

[@2bellaterra]

hey max love your vids. thanks. where do you live ? also if ever your painting again and want to do that kawasaki sticker thing . you can use painters making tape and trace the sticker outline on to that tape. if you cant see through the tape , there is this art suply stuff called frisket. its just clear plastic sheet that is sticky use tht to get the shape you want the make a masking tape copie. hope this helps. keep up the great work.

[@mrmaxstorey]

I live in DC but this video was taken in Florida. Thanks for the tip!

[@BrianNguyen-jk5tu]

Would you happen remember what kind of exhaust/muffler is that? It doesn't look like the stock muffler on my zn

[@xDontStandInTheFirex]

What's the bike with the most miles you've ever bought? The dealership where I bought my current bike is selling one with 190k miles on it. That's crazy I've only put on 3k miles in the last year.

[@gwdb88]

hey man what handlebars to you have on there?
