AMERICAN DREAM's Z1
The bike was newly customized for a Z1 owner who wanted to convert its wheels to 17-inch and add a café racer cowl. Another new feature is that the cowl stay made from aluminum based on the development know-how of the café racer cowl for the Z900RS which has almost the same shape as the Z1. Of course, the engine was also fully customized.
Incorporating the best parts from time to time into our many years of Z production know-how for future enjoyment. The owner now rides the completed bike much more often and over greater distances than before.
