Bakutou’s Z750FX-1 Inspection: Brake Hose Fabrication and Engine Mount Bolt Replacement

Wow! It’s a Z750FX!

My old image of this bike is
due to budget constraints, it became an FX-1
isn’t that the case?

I often see just the Z750FX emblem
on MK2s and such…

I never expected
the 750 to become this popular
It’s amazing(*´ω`*)

Engine mount bolts with SUS
is surprisingly trendy?

A while back it was considered a bit luxurious
but time passes
“After all, iron is the way”
rust and all, right?

The M8 cap bolts have already
been replaced with flanged ones
In this era, even M8 and up
use spring washers.
Materials have improved in various ways
and in modern times…

The lower side sticking out with youthful vigor
for a moment I thought “is it a threaded rod?”
I was mistaken.

The direction to insert the bolt

sometimes changes based on work efficiency
when there’s no particular reason or meaning
I go with the original direction
somehow it feels more reassuring

92001-1624
Flanged bolt 10×320
slightly longer than the original.
But it’s black and sturdy

The threads almost stick out completely
and there’s a possibility it won’t tighten fully
I’ll use a spacer to adjust the protrusion

Next

Upper rear side
92154-0827 Flanged bolt 10×255
The head looks stylish, is it current?
It’s 5MM longer so I’ll adjust it for use

Next

Lower rear side
Honda 95701-1016500
Bolt, Flange 10X165 
This was the only one I could use as-is.
The head is a bit ordinary.

I accidentally
forgot about the front lower side…
Plus it’s M12

For this one
I’m thinking of going with a CBR1000RR
*Currently sourcing~

There doesn’t seem to be much of a pattern
but I’m starting to understand
how to look up Honda and Kawasaki parts(*´ω`*)
