Do any of you ever read the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics magazine?
I grab the occasional issue
Well I just bought the May 2010 issue.
Was looking through it, and found the Show Us Your Bike section.
There is a Kawasaki Z400 fitted with a Triumph Bonneville fuel tank, sporting a rather nice Kubota Z482 diesel engine :O
Owner is Michael Byrne, from Burnley, Lancashire.
Apparently it does 130mpg and over 70mph
Does anyone know him? (Is he a member?)
I cant remember hearing about the bike on this forum though :S
EDIT:
Found the specs on the Kubota Z482 engine:
479cc, twin cylinder
Water cooled
weighs 117lb (53kg)
13.3hp @ 3600 (intermittent)

Re: Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Magazine
This calls for some scans of the article
'92 Enfield + Hatz 1B40: street legal, weld up stainless exhaust, check engine rpm and change final drive sprocket.
Re: Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Magazine
I will try and get a scan later for you all to look at
