Re: Cush Plate / Wheel spacer

Hi Keith, Thanks for the reply. Did your spacer come from a set of wire wheels? The 28mm dimension looks a bit long. I made a spacer with 22mm from shoulder to end and the cush plate was sticking out of the hub to far. I skimmed it down to 18mm and the cush plate / hub look about right. Plus, the wh...

Cush Plate / Wheel spacer

Hi Guys, I’ve just come to install my rear wheel on my Z1000A1 after having both wheels rebuilt only to discover I’ve lost the cush plate spacer. Item 13. RearHub.jpg I thought I’d quickly make one, but I need to know the dimension from the sholder to the end. CushPlateSpacer.jpg All the other dimen...

Finned Exhaust Clamps

I have a set of exhaust clamps from my 77 A1. Well, 3 + 1. One has been repaired with Stubs 65 welding rod in 82. Not as bright as those from Z-Power but these do have some genuine 1980’s patina.

Wanted Z1 Chain guard.

Hi Guys,
Preferably one that has been butchered for Ohlin/YSS remote piggy back shocks with the fat springs if you know what I mean.
But anything considered.

Thanks
Paul

How about this

The stock selector drum weighs in at about 750g and letting the daylight through saves 200g.

Not Alan Cooper's work but is this the sort of thing you’re looking for?

Re: ZX1100 Fuel return valve

The fuel return valve should not let fuel out of the tank. It sounds like yours is stuck open. With the valve off the tank you should be able to get a cocktail stick and pushing it up the pipe end, see the valve open and close. I’ve heard that if you bottom out the spring you can gently tap out the ...

Re: Speedo and tacho foam

Yes please. I couldn’t believe the state of mine when I last looked.
I’ve been hoping to find something suitable for some time.

Re: Carbs for 1100 GPZ.

I picked up a set of 34mm CV’s from a GPz750 in the hope they’ll do for my Unitrak 11. I’m not convinced they are the same as the 34mm’s fitted to GPz1100’s. They fit OK but I’ve not attempted to fire it up yet.

Re: J, R, GPZ, unitrac GPZ550 seat lock

Here’s my first attempt at a seat lock. I got the vertical M6 screw hole in the wrong place. I suspect the bracket on my frame is just a wee bit, slightly bent. IMG_0122.JPG So here’s the second attempt with a few adjustments. IMG_0121.JPG Having printed it in ABS it feels quite sturdy. I was toying...

Re: J, R, GPZ, unitrac GPZ550 seat lock

I’ve been looking for a seat lock for ages with no luck. I don’t really want to buy a complete set just for the seat lock. If anyone finds one at the bottom of that bucket we’ve all got full of manky m6 and m8 bolts, if Gus doesn’t want it, I’ll have it. In the meantime, I wonder if I could make som...

Re: Z1000r Carbs

Ouch, looks like you’ve got some contaminates in there.
If you want to do them yourself, there’s a brass washer to take off then you can tap them out with a punch. With that gunge they might be a bit tight so I’d do them in the house at room temperature with a plastic or ally punch.

Re: Airbox wanted

Thanks Paul. Walshyco’s looks like a J type box. Apart from the anti-pollution mods, I think the same pattern box was fitted to all the CV carb’d models.
