they make the panels you can get from the club. (Surprised the club wont supply them).

Good luck with the sale. Doubt if that will hang around for too long.

The drum doesn’t lock up when you’re hurtling towards an accident and your standard front brakes aren’t slowing you down fast enough... :shock: + 1 more feel. I changed the rear caliper on my z1000 to a brembo which is better than original, but no where near as good as the drum brake on my Z1B.

Maybe a silly idea. But what about soldering the crack insitu ?

Chisel and a 5lb lump work well, mind you does tend to dent the paint work.

I have a spare Z1 rear rim. But will have to check date code tomorrow and get back to you.

Considering it was sold before most people get up in the morning, why argue about shit that doesn't matter, there's Facebook for that. Everything matters. It's just that somethings are more important than others. What is important to one person is not important to another. What I find is things app...

Nice wheels... :D interested to see this progressing. The front was originally made to have just one disc, but being built up, the hubs can be unbolted and machined to take a second disc. This is how they looked on my old drag bike.. Hardtail - oooh the pain. PS - following this thread with interest.
