In June 2020, Kawasaki Motors announced that it will offer reproduced cylinder heads, manufactured in Japan, for the legendary Z1, KZ900 and KZ1000 motorcycles.

The cylinder heads  are manufactured using current methods and are based on original part design plans and specifications. The cylinder heads are manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. in Japan and only one unit is still available in silver.

Introduced in 1972, the original Z1 was one of the first models designed with the US market in mind and went on to solidify Kawasaki’s position as a global leader in the large-displacement bike category. The Z1 gained popularity immediately after its debut and sold well over 100,000 vehicles around the world. It is a historic model that came to be recognized as a symbol of Kawasaki motorcycles with its impressive power and high reliability that have been retained over the years, passed down to current-generation models.

As these long-popular, classic models enter their 50th anniversary, they remain loved and admired by many riders. Numerous Z1s are restored to beautiful, working condition, and can be found around the world today. To meet the needs of Z1
owners and collectors, Kawasaki has reproduced cylinder heads for the Z1, KZ900 and KZ1000.
