Same here, used the bike to run around on new years day rather than the car.

Great to still be using the A2 this time of the year

A couple of hours with some 'Blue-Job' chrome polish powder yesterday and the much shinier Doremi's are back on the bike.
I was quite surprised how well the 'Blue-Job' polish worked.
Let's see how long they stay this colour.

Back into hooligan mode , Delkevic 4 into 1 with minimum baffles , whilst I polish out the blueing on the 4 into 4 down pipes.

I've had her just over a year now , most of that spent fettling and tinkering with bits and bobs on her. Alf at 'Alf's motorcycles' in Worthing finished the setting up and tuning and I picked her up last Saturday. I have managed to put more miles on her in the last couple of days than I did in the l...

Am I correct in assuming that this is where an oil cooler was one plumbed in and when removed they just looped this piec...

A modified Z900 and a KZ1000 at Ardingly this morning.

Thanks for the welcome everyone and for the pointers to the various garages/mechanics. I decided to have a go at sorting the starting and running myself. I just did the basics , a new set of plugs , points adjusted , new fuel lines , new air filter , a good dose of carb cleaner and she's running lik...

I have just picked up this 1978 'KZ1000 A2' and have to say that it's a credit to the last two owners , imported in 96 , fantastic condition. There are one or two little jobs to do , mai...
