Re: Z1-A going back to the Grave(Diggers)
Like the rest of the bike, everything had been stripped down... Switches included. The blocks had been repainted but in a thick glossy black. Only one thing for it :mrgreen: Stripping process on switches.jpg Much better :D Painted switches.jpg Can see the date codes now... Date code on switches.jpg

Re: Z1-A going back to the Grave(Diggers)
Bought a correct set of carbs. Old bike had Z900 carbs with it.
These are nice and clean and should be plug and play.
