ZEPHYR 1100 - Owner Interview: JAYVEE ELTANAL
The concept is a RestoMod, a purely Japanese Inspired by.
Most of the part are period correct, era correct. So I put COERCE front fender, ACTIVE bar and KITACO side mirrors and style blinkers. OHLINS suspensions, MORIWAKI fender eliminator, MORIWAKI rear sets. ZRX400 swing arm, ZX-12R wheels, ZX-12R rotors, BREMBO calipers, MORIWAKI 4-into-1 exhaust.
No.48 RESTOMOD - 2nd placer in Makina MotoShow 2022
(Very rare, less than 5 in the Philippines, and probably only one in this condition)
Bodyworks
The eye-catching paintwork pays tribute to the ZII's fireball color scheme. The cromax graphics are newly designed and colored to match the ZEPHYR 1100 and the bikini cowl. COERCE carbon fiber front fenders. The MORIWAKI fender eliminator and discreetly placed rear turn signals are also stylish.
Engine
The engine has been completely overhauled and replaced with NGK iridium spark plugs. (The owner even has a spare engine in case something goes wrong.)
Intake and Exhaust
The carburetor has been re-set to match the MORIWAKI style 4-1 exhaust system.
New original intake manifold, new original air box boots, and attention to detail is evident. Of course, Motul 300V 20w50, a high-performance synthetic oil, is used for the engine oil.
Handle and Rearset
Handlebars were changed from the OEM pipe handlebar to a clip-on type, and gold-colored active bar ends were installed.
KITAKO Z-II Mini-Mirror Short Bracket Type and MORIWAKI rear set are also very attractive. RCB Foldable Brake/Clutch Short Lever.
Chassis & Undercarriage
The rear shock is a full chrome type with a top cover.
