Shabon Dama's ZEPHYR1100

kawasaki_zephyr1100_01.jpg

Shabon Dama has been dealing with the Zephyr 1100/750 for 10 to 20 years. The company was also quick to address the weaknesses of both bikes and has done a lot of customization work, including on the demo bike.

As the lineup gradually changes, they are choosing the ones with the best performance and appearance. Many aftermarket parts for Zephyrs can still be found today. Even though numerical values such as specs and dimensions are established, the differences and individuality of parts emerge when they are actually seen and used. Examining it makes it a better custom. This bike can be regarded as the latest in customization.

Handle

Gauges are stock, with a Yoshimura Progress Meter added. Blinkers are ultra-compact Kellermann LEDs. The stem is a Wheelie with a fork offset of 30mm. The handlebars are Shabon Dama's original "Tacky Bar," and the left and right master cylinders are Brembo RCS.

Bodyworks

The seat is a Supreme seat, which has been installed in many bikes in the Shabon Dama lineup. It improves maneuverability while minimizing sinkage, and is also designed to provide good ground reach.

Intake & Exhaust

The 1062cc air-cooled, 2-valve, twin-plug straight-4 engine is a stock Zephyr 1100, and its silver appearance indicates that it is based on an earlier model. The covered hydraulic clutch cylinder is a Wheelie, and the drive chain that runs inside it is made by DID converted to 520 size.
