Hi MrDavo I own you an apologize . I gave you the wrong measurements... I was confused about the parts but I checked them out now. Change the dimensions I gave you in my previous post! In order to make it up to you I went on the attic of my workshop, took some spare parts and took pictures. DSCN4308...

Hi MrDavo
the lenght of the spacer of a Z1/A/B is 30,5 mm, the lenght of a spacer of a Z900A4, Z1000A1,2,3 is 27mm.
It's obviuos you have a spacer of the younger bikes which is about 3,5 mm too short.

Hi MrDavo the parts are not interchangeable. They're all different, even the lenght of the spacer on the right hand side is different.

Hi MrDavo you're doing a real nice job! Congratulations. I must say that the main loom goes on the left hand side of the headstock, not on the right. The switchlooms however run both on the right hand side of the headstock. The wires of the points run from the points, under the engine ( there are tw...

Hi
very, very well done!
You took the right decision to take the engine apart!
Try to find an ST front mudgard. It'll add up to the originality!

Hi Andrew
nice project! Keep the pictures coming please.
The front brake light switch doesn't need a sealant. Use a 26 mm wrench and torque it between 2.6 and 3 Kg/m.
Good luck with the restoration!

Hi Steve

the M8 bolts need 2,5 Kg/m of torque, the M10 and M12 bolts need 4 Kg/m of torque. Don't tighten the two short M12 bolts to 7Kg/m of torque. It must be a mistake in the book
