Z1300 - ZX1100 Brake/Clutch Mod
Last Update 8/22/08
These pictures were sent in by member Rod Mitchell. He converted his 82' KZ1300 to operate with a
hydraulically actuated clutch. The clutch master cylinder and slave
cylinder were off a 1997 Kawasaki ZX1100. New part numbers are master cylinder
assembly: 43015-1499 and slave cylinder release assembly: 13231-1072. I got mine off eBay for around $40.
The brake master assembly I believe was off a 1999 Kawasaki ZX9R part number:
43015-1577. Again I got mine off eBay for $30. The adjustable levers were again an eBay purchase for $20.
The rear sets are from Tarozzi and are rubber covered and folding.
The plate I mounted the slave cylinder to is stainless steel.
The hardest part was cutting the hole in the SS plate to mount the slave cylinder in the correct position.
The slave pushes directly on the end of the push rod. I removed the cable actuator and cable and that is all, there was no need to remove anything else.
I purchased all the parts off eBay including the brake master and the cost was around $90 for everything.
The pull is much lighter than with the standard cable and it looks good.
The upswept exhaust I did myself after manufacturing angled connectors and by relocating the passenger footpeg brackets.
The exhaust connectors are covered by stainless steel shrouds and look almost factory made.
NOTE: On these newer browsers I've noticed that they don't always display my large images in full size when you open an image from the thumbnails. Once you click the thumbnail and open the larger image, if you 'mouse over' the image you should see a " + " symbol or some other indicator like a box with arrows usually on the bottom right edge of the image. If you click on the indicator, then the image will expand to it's full size which displays full screen on computers that use a 800 x 600 resolution setting for the monitor. If you click the indicator again it will go back to the smaller image. Some people use a resolution setting of 1024 x 768 or higher on their monitors and for those users the images will appear smaller than full screen in size. You can change your monitor settings easily enough if you desire. Also, the indicator I've noticed is slow to appear even after the image appears to of completely loaded. The indicator in Netscape seems to be a lot faster to display than the one in Internet Explorer.
