The Striker Touch: Kawasaki Z900RS Custom by STRIKER

STRIKER's Z900RS

Among the Z900RS demo bikes by Striker, this is the one that was exhibited at the '23 Tokyo Motorcycle Show. The first thing that catches the eye is the single cowl and the seat. It can be installed without any modification and adds a sporty impression to the Z900RS. It is compatible with the Striker Billet Fender Eliminator Kit and also with the stock rear fender. There are two types available: a street version that can be attached and detached using the stock main key, and a race version that is secured at three points, including two bolt fixing points and the tip of the seat.

Another highlight is the exhaust, a Black Line added to the JMCA-compliant exhaust, compatible with the '23 Z900RS (model 8BL-ZR900K), featuring the original high-heat-resistant black coating. In this case, the Striker 'Intermodel' SC Full Exhaust OFF-TypeB 'Titanium Black Line Type 3' JMCA is installed, appealing to owners of the '23 and later models. In addition to the above, the Striker Aero Design 'SAD' Undercowl, Front and Rear Fenders, STC Sport Touring Concept Steps, Clip-on Handlebar Kit, and other attractive parts proven on the Z900RS by the Striker brand are also included.

Handle

A Striker Clip-on Handlebar Kit and G Striker Stem Kit were installed to create a position that makes the Z900RS easier to handle. The front master was replaced with a Gale Speed Elaborate VRC and the clutch side with a Gale Speed Elaborate Wire Clutch Holder Kit.

Bodyworks

The new single-seat cowl, marketed as the STRIKER Aero Design 'SAD' Single Seat Cowl & Single Seat Set, gives the Z900RS a fresh appearance by replacing the stock seat/tail cowl. The street version can be attached and detached with the stock main key.

Engine

The engine and frame are Z900RS stock, but several original parts, including the Striker Carbon Composite Guard Slider, Radiator Core Guard, 'SAD' Special Under Cowl, and Cylinder Side Aluminum Billet Engine Hangers, have been installed.

Intake & Exhaust

The exhaust system is the 'INTERMODEL' SC Full Exhaust OFF-TypeB 'TITAN BLACK LINE Type3' JMCA, designed exclusively for the '23 model (8BL-ZR900K) introduced in May '23. It features a 4-1 high-mount type titanium full exhaust with high-heat resistant black coating (the silencer has a special ceramic coating). The rear brake combines Gale Speed Elaborate Rear 2P Radial Calipers with a Sunstar Works Expand Disc.

Chassis

The front forks are stock ø41mm upside-down forks, and the front fender is by Striker Aero Design 'SAD', exuding both lightness and beauty. The front brake features a combination of Brembo M-4 Radial Monoblock Calipers and a Sunstar Works Expand Disc.

The swingarm is replaced with a G Striker Swingarm, which is more flexible and improves turning performance. The rear shock is an Ohlins KA739. The wheels are forged aluminum Gale Speed Type-GP1S wheels with the same 3.50-17/5.50-17 size as the stock. A Striker Aero Design 'SAD' Rear Fender is also installed.
