I know these Z1B carbs are a pig to get set up right so i might try and find a set of pumpers to stick on it. I reckon they are better carbs and Ive got a lot more experience working on them. Cheers

Not on the later Z1B carbs Warren, they have a screw and lock nut syncronising set up so you don’t need to take the top covers off. Unlike the later z1000 carbs, they dont have an actuating rod operating all four carbs, there is a linkage that serves two banks. I put grease over the area where the s...

Maybe (see attached), and obviously I know about the air leaks because im posting about the actuator seals which will affect the vacuum. I was hoping someone might have changed the seals and might be able to help regarding where to source replacements. Bike actually runs and starts well when warm an...

Hi all, I’m running a set of VM28SC’s, circa 1975 as the have an adjuster screw on number 4, on my MK2/LTD engine. Carbs have been rebuilt with new EBC/Mikuni jets 102.5 main and 15 pilot, new float valves and the choke plunger seals done. Air screws set at 1.5 turns. Basically the problem im having...

Message me if interested, they seem to be pretty solid, bit of corrosion around collector areas (£75)

Ah..it worked this time.

Will post pictures today for each item as im working from home :-)

Thanks All

Oakydoaky!

In Warrens defence I have just added the prices.

Ill get some photos done and get them uploaded

Warren - I am a paid up member (number 1879), maybe I need to be enabled for these forums?

I just wanted to build something with practical upgrades - being able to fit modern rubber was one requirement, modern brakes was another. ZZR bits (wheels, forks, swinging arm) are cheap as chips, I got the lot for 200 quid, but are more than up for the job so happy days (although the front brake s...

Not authorised to read this forum apparently

if anyone is interested in any of the following message me for more details. The LTD was a yank import so there is nothing rotted out and unusable - top yoke (£20), forks (front wheel has sold) which are original and in good usable condition (£100), headlight brackets/shrouds (£40), brake callipers ...

Thanks Mark, not bad for a mix of Z and ZZR bits, it rides great and stops very well with H**** blackbird M/C and calipers and EBC pro-lite discs.

Hi All, thought i'd join up and support the forum that ive used for years as 20 quid a year seems very reasonable for all the technical info available. I live in Tiverton in Devon, I had a lot of Zeds from the mid eighties on starting with a z650b3, then a z1000j, an imported z900, z1000 in a 650 fr...

I have a set of down pipes, they are far from immaculate but solid. Depends what you’re after I guess
