Its got full Motogadget Bluetooth electronics system with LED lighting, just wanted it to be reliable spent far too much time by the side of the road waiting for a mate with a van to pick me up in the past. I have an early Motogadget system and have been playing around with fitting it with a Mosfet...

The exhaust has always been a bug bear, I don't really like the kerker or harris low slung pipes but can't justify spending 2k + on a cyclone 4 into 1 from Sanctuary in Japan which I would really like.

Just finished after 2 1/2 years of toil, total engine rebuild & far too much money spent, first run out at the weekend a few niggles like a flashing oil light hopefully

I've just rebuilt the engine on my 1975 Z1B and after grinding all the valves in and fitting a couple of new valve guides most of the shim cl...

Hi, just after some advice, I've just dumped last years oil and filter to find a number of small black hard rubber bits luckily picked up by the filter. I have a PMC auto cam chain adjuster

Thanks

OK Thanks

Hello, thanks for the responses, I fitted cheap plates and kept the std springs when rebuilt 4 years ago and under heavy load it slips. I am going to replace and can find EBC heavy duty plates and springs on Ebay for about £70.00. I am no lunatic on a bike especially a 45 yr old one so will probably...
