The Zed's been gone long enough... the GPz and its 110ish HP feels fast to me again. Wahoo!
Just took it out for its first blast since last fall (I've been riding the GL1800 during the frigid months as it has heated grips and better wind protection and a toaster oven).

I'm guessing you got the front forks all sorted out then.

Yep. I'd look up the thread for you but I'm too lazy.
Now I just need to install my NOS FOX twin clicker shock... and I'll be all set. the OEM one is shagged out.

Back when I had the KZ550, there was always an adjustment period of a few miles when getting back on the GPz900R.
And since I admittedly ride a lot below 5000 rpm, sometimes I have to visit the upper rev range just so I remember that's where the horsepower
really
lives.

Awesome! I have a new Wilburs for the rear of the 'bird, and I think I'll send the fronts down to get valved. Hopefully I won't forget to tighten all the bolts...

I bought that shock in 2004....
I've got a new set of shocks for the R90 also... they've been on my shelf for at least 3 years.
I got stuff to do, maaaaaan.
Only took me 1.5 years to fix my wife's 1911, though.
