Yes a great picture - Captures the essence of what the club is all about.

Looks like a lot of work has gone into that. Wouldn't mind borrowing it for a week end!

BTSC
Stumbled across these guys on the net - The British Two Stroke Club (which is a club for pretty much all Two Stroke bikes and cars) has been around for nearly a hundred years. I had never heard of them. Looked interesting, and to whet the appetite this is a link from their web site. https://www.yout...

Re: Ace Cafe etc
Although I still do pleasure riding I largely agree with Bedlow I remember going to meetings in Cheshire some years ago which was well attended and used to have a Midlands regular monthly venue which had a flexibility that suited being able to dip in and out of depending on weather or other family c...

Re: Z900 A4 fuel leak any ideas please?
The cracked overflow pipe sounds bizarre but I experienced this issue some years ago on my Z1R. Not sure what causes it - maybe vibration / stress. In the end I acquired a new float bowl through Dave Marsden. (Although I also bought most of the carburettor that went with it.) If it is a cracked pipe...

Re: Z1 1973
The early Z1's to my eyes are one of those rare things that was 'right' from the word go and from any angle very difficult to see anything that could be improved upon. The fact that it was the fastest thing around at the time and not exactly a slouch today is the icing on the cake. Very nice.

Re: Z1000 A2 fuel tap
About 10 years ago I had a similar issue with the vacuum tap on my A2. As well as complete fuel taps (which do seem very expensive) Pingel make an adapter plate that once fitted, allows use of a regular type (on off reserve) tap from an A1. So I went for that option. Your solution looks good though-...

Re: Project Tetanus - H1 500 - Never Again
Looks really nice. It should go quite nicely too. My 400 has been in what I keep thinking is the final stages of completion for over a year! Hopefully it will see the light of day this year - fingers crossed. Well done on yours - it was worth all the perseverance.

Re: Z1000a2 mag wheels.
I think Garry is correct that (possibly the Henry Abe type) mags were a factory option.
Having owned a Z1R the only thing I would say about that style of wheel is they are significantly heavier than spoke wheels.

Re: Best re-lining prducts for my tank
Yes Stu it was indeed- especially as I had just had the tank painted! - and frustratingly the remedies that sound most plausible that I have seen are pretty much all going to entail sacrificing the paintwork. For the time being I shall just own it as a work of art as the paint job is great!!

Re: Best re-lining prducts for my tank
From the dozens of reviews / comments on the web there seems to be 2 categories of POR15 users - those that it works for and those that it does not. Unfortunately this year I fall into the latter category when used on an S3 tank. Apart from the 70% or so of the liner that delaminated I cannot find a...

Re: Throttle cables - do you oil?
I always oil new cables - I suspect they come with protective coating of some kind but the additional oil seems to help. I used engine oil for years but recently have been using bicycle chain oil (with a teflon component) which seems to work well. I have also found 'Slinky Glide' cables to be smooth...
