STRIKER's Z900RS

Z900RS_STRIKER_01.jpg

Matte finish motorcycles are one of the recent trends in the motorcycle industry. Many manufacturers release their motorcycles in matte colors as stock. In the past, Once difficult to maintain, it has now evolved to the point where it can be waxed and coated, making it more accessible. The photo makes you wonder if the Kawasaki has released a new color Z900RS. In fact, it was completely repainted by STRIKER. The matte black makes the whole bike look naturally.

The frame, front fork outer tube, engine, and the wheels are all matte black. The repaint is only the first step in this project, and many parts have been replaced. For the chassis, G-striker's swingarm and STC (Sport Touring Concept) rearsets kit were chosen. In addition, the popular titanium full exhaust was also installed, a complete lineup of parts by STRIKER for the Z900RS. Furthermore, Kawasaki logo on the tank, Z900RS logo on the side covers, the silver headlight rim and the red silencer emblem serve as accents in the overall color scheme and prevent it from leading to a monotonous style.

Handle

The G-Striker clip-on handlebar was installed together with the billet top bridge, which was carefully selected for its natural front load, pull-back angle, and width to allow the elbow to rest naturally on the handlebars when cornering. The master is remained to be stock.
