Z1000 frame repair/replacement

[Chris bv]

Hi all,

i’m new to the forum so apologies if listed wrong.

long story short i’ve managed to break the frame in an accident. As there were no other vehicles/objects involved i didn't declared it to the insurance company. Engine is running and most of the parts are ok.
my only option is to repair the bike now.
assuming the frame below can’t be repaired, i need to buy a new frame. From dealership it would cost £1200.
I’ve found a blank one(no v5 no numbers on the frame/blank for but it’s 2017 (JHF) and my bike is 2014 (FEF)
What are my chances for them to be compatible?

Thanks!

yeah...realised i've got it wrong:) to make up for it, this is how it used to be in the good days. Also have the 750 in the background.

Chris, when you say you broke the frame, where is it broke, is it bent or out of lineament etc could it be welded ?
If you get on to Cradley Heath Kawasaki page they give you parts list and numbers, you could check to see if the 2014 is the same as the  2017!
I do this when i want bits and bobs for mine, as some engine parts are the same as the zx9

Just checked and the part numbers are the same for both models, 32160 0694-18R
