1974 Kawasaki Z1900 Restoration Project Green COMPLETE

- This 1974 Z1900 started out with a green body set, hence the name "PROJECT GREEN." We later installed a nicer body set in brown, for the customer. This gorgeous bike will be featured at the AMCA tent at the 35th annual AMERICADE coming up in June in Lake George, NY.
I would love to come and buy a z900 from these guys 😀
I am not gonna lie……..I tear up every time I watch a Johnny video. That bike is beyond beautiful.
It's just great to know these bikes are being reborn

What a beauty, interesting engine breakdown, great job as usual. Thanks for doing this.
Absolute stunning finish to the motorcycle... I like the way you showed how deep you went into the engine... very interesting video... thanks for sharing.. 👌
can't wait to see it at americade. love your videos keep em coming
A beautiful finish love the paint colour....
Fantastic Job Johnny A true enthusiast Mike UK
Excellent job!!
The dedication this guy has with these old Kawasaki's is without doubt the best I've ever seen, I used to own an 82' Model KZ 1100 Shaft Drive, and I miss that bike because it was a fine machine to ride, the only thing I changed on it was the exhaust, I installed a set of 4 in to 1 Vance & Hines pipes and I had to have the carbs re-jetted so that it would run right with the baffles out of the exhaust, I believe it was right @ 100 horse power from the factory and the pipes after re-jetting it was right @ 120 HP...
Fantastic video guys, keep em coming
That Zed is BETTER than new. True story. 😍
Excellent this video pretty much explained everything involved in the restoration.
I enjoy your videos. I've always wanted a Z1900 but couldn't afford to ever get one. My best friend always had em. There ain't a better sounding bike in my opinion.
thank you for the knowledge
this is awsome what you guys do.i love these bikes and wish i had the money for one.
I love that color combination
Have done 2 bare frame restos on KZ1000 and 81 GPZ1100. Great job you did I know what it takes and have learned a few things along the way. Number 1 thing is to start with a an unmolested bike and by that I mean a bike that has not been apart or any engine work done to it.
Hola mí nombre es Xavier y quería felicitar por renacer ese caño clásico de colección, saludos desde Argentina,,
Espetacular motorcycle!
bravo master
love it. I wish you would show us the de-greasing process, or take us to the powder coater and show us how that all happens. Anyway, its all good. Thanks.
TommyTwobats, you're in luck: th-cam.com/video/fE8tUeBizI8/w-d-xo.html

I watched this entire video with intensity. Then the end comes with only one freaking second of the final product while pulling up to a stop. Such an incredibly rich video until that disappointment. I was sure waiting to see it shown off!! 😕
I'm wondering why you didn't do anything to improve the suspension? Or brace the frame?
Beautiful
Brilliant.
Applause
Ain't he great? No stupid custom job that doesn't suit the bike, just a sensible clean-up and re-build. He knows these bikes inside and out and has the skills and experience. If he lived in my country I would be getting him to do a restoration for me.
It would be a good idea to update the thinking on the brake disc date code, K is certainly not the 11th month?
OMG.....tears welling up........
Looks like a showpiece
when money is no object. wondering how much this beautiful beast costs?
10-20 thousand
Who redoes your gauges if you don't mind me asking?
Factory chrome i hope?...dont want to lose those rim codes
It's probably a $13,000.00 dollar motorcycle after Johnny is finished with it.
Wow how things have changed! This was seven years ago , you can add another 10K on that price estimate now?
Would be even better if we could watch the work being carried out but love anyway!
what color/finish do you guys powder coat frames and engine mounting plates and similar items in to keep the oem finish
our powdercoater calls it johnnyblack
I got 1973 z1 900 with disc brake (rear) dual disc brake (front) barn condition.. No carburator, rust tank inside. I wanted to restore but here in my country very very hard to find parts. I believe 1 and only in here Brunei.. How to contact you sir?
What does a set of repro 4 into 4 pipes cost over there? Mine has never had them since I've owned it (81). They seem to be VERY pricey.
I have one that I'm about to go through what you have. The frame is powder coated and here we go. But what is really, really, really frustrating is that you have a 41 minute video putting it together and you don't really show it completed except riding it (which is cool). I want to see several angles of the bike in all of it's glory, then I will pause and just gawk!
check out some of our other vids. They'll show different points in the process.
Where do you get your OEM Kawasaki parts? I used to work at a Kawasaki Dealer in the 90’s and so many parts were no longer available for the 70’s bikes like the H and Z series bikes back then. God forbid you needed an igniter box for an early H1! Has Kawasaki started reproducing parts like Honda does in their Heritage line?
No, FW... I've been in business 34 years now, and have been collecting longer than that. Kawasaki is my passion, and I've been buying out Kawasaki dealerships along the way. Sometimes I don't have the part, but it's not often.
Hey Johnny I have a question brother where do you find your Kawasaki Z1 projects? because I live in California and I have been looking for quite some time and I have yet to find one for sale, they are very hard to find... so where do you find yours?
They kind of just find us
Johnny bought them all
@@Vizionaire1 gosh dang it! LMFAO, that doesn't surprise me!!! Darn you Johnny and your deep pockets!!!! Lol
cool thanks how much do sell your bikes for
At this time, we do not have any z1's for sale
I know this video is a little OLD but have found anyone to remake the dash housing for the gauges?
Gene Holmes dash housing for the gauges? Is yours missing? If not just remove,powdercoat and put it back on. If not and you need one...Ebay?
hey John would you be interested in a 69 American eagle marauder motorcycle?
Yes, I would. I have one already, but I'd be interested in another one.
Where can i buy kawasaki original parts?
At Johnny's Vintage Motorcycle Company. Give us a call
Unbelievable
And another survivor is vandalised on the altar of ignorance.
ouch
Wasting time, wasting money, wasting energy just for junk motorbike....wasting age...
It's a $20,000 bike.
You ass hole....it's Johnny's passion & business..... it's called running a business making guys happy with there bikes.....once again you ass hole....!!!!!!!
less talking and more fixing all this talking is boring me
ken karn you need to go over to hathganus's house for popcorn and coke!😉
ken karn my 74 needs more "Johnny talk"....like going to school, without waiting for the bell to ring.
Excellent job!!
