92′ Kawasaki KZ1000P ‘Kwakazilla’ by Hajarbroxx Motorcycles

Hajarbroxx Motorcycles out of Bandung, Indonesia are producing some of the most unique customs we’ve seen for a while.
The good cop, a Kawasaki, has turned outlaw....ready to roam the streets of Jakarta.
Complete crazy construction, with a distinctive design. 

The engine is police stock, with K&N filters for the look and to milk the horsepower.
It’s an Indonesian Kawasaki KZ1000P Police Edition named ‘Kwakazilla’ and thanks to it, criminal getaways in Indonesia were about as successful as a North Korean metal band.
 

A lot of nice details were made for this motorcycle.
The tail and fairing were handmade by Hajarbroxx using aluminium. They were going to use aluminium for the tank as well but ended up using galvanised steel sheets, so they could shape it exactly the way they wanted to.
 You check out some of the other Hajarbroxx projects on their Facebook page.

The concept was to build a cafe racer with a 4-cylinders Japanese built engine that still runs smooth and has legal papers. This bike is one of the big Kwaka’s that were imported and used in 1992 for escorting Presidents and Prime Ministers limousines when there was a large political conference that was held in Jakarta. After the event ended a lot of these bikes were sold and auctioned to civilians.

Gifny Richata – Hajarbroxx Motorcycles
It’s great to see builders in countries like Indonesia turning out bikes that are easily as good as the American, Australian and European custom builds that we usually see. Hajarbroxx’s first custom that saw the big time was the “Kill Hill” bike featured on Bike Exif, comparing that bike to this one shows a clear design language and I, for one, can’t wait to see more from them.

It was built by Hajarbroxx Motorcycles of Bandung in Indonesia, a small custom workshop started by illustrator Gifny Richata and his mechanic friend Nandang.

The seat was crafted by the infamous leathersmith Xian Leather in New York – who apparently doesn’t do motorcycle related work anymore.

Here the original Motorcycles originally was produced and destination for Police in some Asian countries As Kawasaki was starting to gain competition in the form of larger capacity motorcycles, they had no option but to increase the capacity of the Z900, and thus the Z1000 was born.

The engine design remained basically the same as the Z900, however the bore of the cylinders was increased from 66mm to 70mm bringing the new capacity to 1015cc.

UK and European models were designated Z1000 whereas the American model was known as the KZ1000.

The same machine was was featured in the television show CHiPs, wherein it was ridden by the protagonist characters Ponch and Jon, two California Highway Patrol officers. The bike was also used in various other TV shows and feature films such as Great Teacher Onizuka (a Japanese anime series) and Chain Reaction (Keanu Reeves' character's bike). The Kz1000 was also featured heavily in the 1979 movie Mad Max, in which a 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 was ridden by the Main Force Patrol officer Jim Goose, played by Steve Bisley.^[3]
