Wow - nice bikes !!!

Haydn, Fair enough. I also have a Z1-B which I've owned from new (bought May 1st 1975) although it was in pieces for 43 years. I think the general opinion is that they are the best of the Z1's to ride although not maybe the most desirable to own. Pic of mine attached (although a UK bike it's fitted...

Just interested in why you would swap a UK Z1-A with a USA Z1-B? It's a fair question - I bought the Z1a from a dealer on ebay so I'd not seen the bike other than ebay pictures until it was delivered. When I received the bike it was burning oil, the dealer took it back to repair and after he'd sort...

Not sure but I think the '76 and later are different to the 72-75 models, I've got one somewhere that's slightly too big for my '75 Z1b.

It's not perfect and doesn't have the handle or sticker but if I can find it you can have it for the cost of posting it to you.

Thanks but I'm looking for an original one ideally. But a tatty repro might do.

No worries - good luck

I've managed to make up a toolkit.
Does anyone have an owners manual they'd sell? Not looking for anything mint, tatty will suit the patina of the bike.

Cheers

Hi, Just signed up to the club and thought I'd post a few pics of my Z1000st. 53K on the clock and a UK bike from new, stills rides like a champ and loving the Delkevic 4into1 which is crisp without being offensive. Had MKIIs back in the day and would love another one. Looking for a standard seat i...

Thank you - it is nice, mind you I like all the Z1 colour schemes.
I had a green (which looked more brown) Z1A prior to this Z1B that was really easy on the eye.

Thank you, can't wait for the weather to improve.

20240217_173509.jpg Bought this Z1A last year and recently got around to getting work done on it so it's ready to ride again. It had a horrible, ratty 4/1, pod filters and butchered sidepanels to accommodate and some minor electrical issues. I've swapped the exhaust for a Kerker Swapped the side pa...

Thank you

Sweet looking in blue, nice job sir :biggrin Thank you - I can't take any credit for the build, I bought it pretty much as it is. You could have bought a BMW 1200 Gs.. but you didnt, you bought a piece of history, so for that sir well done. Strangely - I actually traded a BMW r1250 GS for a Z1A whi...
