Hi Peter

welcome to the club!
It looks like it's going to be a special bike with all the improvements you're planning.

When you have all the parts, including all the nuts and bolts, everything ready to assemble a complete bike and you only have to take those parts and mount them at the correct spot in the correct sequence, it can be done in a week. That would ...

Hi Sparky63 welcome to the club ! the assembly of a Z900 can be done in a week but...you should have a real knowledge about how it's done. Take your time and don't think it'll be easy. You need a workshop manual in order to do it properly. I think you can download one, so do it and follow the steps....
