I would like to introduce you to some of the custom motorcycles that were submitted to the Webike Community's "MOTO HACK Custom Motorcycle Contest" campaign!
Here is the custom motorcycle of Kaede&Kotetsu Daddy who rides Z1000 (liquid-cooled).
Motorcycle and self-introduction
I got my moped and mid-size license at age 16.
SUZUKI Bandit 250 → HONDA CB400 Super four → KAWASAKI ZRX400 → YAMAHA TW200 → Riding on HONDA Steed 400. My wife forbade me to ride for a while because I got married and had a daughter, so I got a large-size license for the first time in 10 years and bought a KAWASAKI Z1000.
Custom based Real DeAGOSTINI. It's a wheelbarrow to get you where you want to go when you have time. I enjoy playing with it.
Commitment to customization
Direction to aim for
I want to make the naughty-looking Street Fighter look a little more mature. But with all due respect to Street Fighter's aggressive design! It's normal if you're not interested. You're messing around with it when someone you love sees it! If that happens! I try to keep the defaults as unchanged as possible.
Points that I think are cool
The motorcycle itself is hard to wear because I don't see it in the city that much, but it doesn't wear it almost because I have made the exterior full carbon. But it's surprisingly unassuming, and the best part is that it doesn't stand out! I added red color parts to not interfere with the carbon.
Points of change in performance
I think it's thinner underneath because I'm putting a full maverick in it. But that doesn't mean I'm going to fly around town. I'm not going to go riding through the pass. It's not like I'm going to the track, so I don't think it'll be a problem!

Part of the carbon exterior was painted with candy flake apple red to make it red carbon. It's not interesting if it's solid paint, so I had it done in different colors for the fins, the front cowl, and the edge of the fuel tank cover.
Red color bolts were added as points.
Painted tank cowl.
I'm also putting Dimotiv tank pads on the center section here. I have red carbon parts, but I really wanted to differentiate myself from the others by daring to paint them differently.
There are a lot of people who ride Z1000s with MAVERICK titanium full exhaust system, but I like the sound, the lightness, and the design of the silencer from its thinness.
I really like it.
I decided to get a MAVERICK exhaust system, so I also got a MAVERICK rearsets! I don't know about the details, but I don't think the performance is that different from other companies, so I'm focusing on the design! I love the pointy design.
I made a fender eliminator bracket as I wanted to clean up the rear area. Processed at an angle that makes it visible from the rear and inconspicuous. I have the license plate lights and reflectors in place, so I haven't been stopped by a police car or motorcycle behind me.
I made the license plate number less noticeable, so I used Kellerman's blinkers to make it as smooth as possible.
The front brake area is BREMBO! The rear suspension is OHLINS! It's a classic around here, but there's some classic goodness in a classic! The satisfaction of owning it is outstanding.
When the motorcycle was delivered in January of this year, the bar end mirrors and U-KANAYA lever were red, and the grips were also red, but I changed to rizoma mirrors, SSK carbon grips, and lever guard to make it more mature and chic.
I like the stock exterior and the bar end, so if I feel like it, I'd like to replace it and play with it.
I wanted to put in Marchesini wheels too, if possible, but I couldn't afford the price...
I got the stock pre-model 1 wheel, so I'm having them painted in gunmetal over the rim to correct the mess of painting and priming the stock-specific hubs. I didn't make it in time, so this is just a picture, but I'm going to assemble this with a Sunstar Premier disc rotor hole and slit and a black 41 sprocket. Now the customization around the front is complete.
Customization that I want to do in the future
A little over 80%, if I had to do it later because I'm starting to like it.
- The rear brakes were changed to Brembo and the master, hoses, and reserve tank were changed to smoke.
- Rewrite the ECU.
- Introduced fuel control and quick shifter in Commander V.
- Change all visible bolts to titanium bolts.
