Some period Paint codes http://kawtriple.com/mraxl/paint.html

As said above though, too many variations in the original candy colours, so much better to get a decent painter to match to your exact shade rather than buying off the shelf touch ups, unless you're doing a full repaint of course.

Also if it's happening when the bikes been stood it's worth checking the Fuel tap itself isn't passing. Pretty common on these old gravity taps - more so if they've dried out at some point.

2nd two Reg letter's normally denote area of original registration so JJ first registered in Maidstone.

Welcome... Lots of helpful owners and advice on here - so take FULL advantage of it. There are a million and one 'Restored' Z1's for sale, but some are not quite the lovingly restored & cherished bikes the adverts would have you believe, so if you spot a possible purchase always worth a post her...

Perhaps generic to a few models as looks Triple to me.....

Get a set of the Club Repo one's. Not only better than the other repop stuff, but actually much better quality than the original one's as well...

I'm finding that a lot of USA bikes are getting expensive, especially those targeting the lucrative UK market. I often turn bikes down because they are simply too expensive by the time you got them here and sorted them out. And then months later they are still unsold... I think an outsider looking ...

Nice.

I had this UK (points) one a couple of years ago and have never seen another one other than at Stafford. The H1's were the original 'Widowmakers' and not the later H2 like everyone seems to think.

Done

Took my V5 to the PO this morning, UK bike registered 9/78. PO computer say No, not old enough. Phoned DVLA and they said it is Old enough and go to another PO instead.

Pods have got a lot to answer for .....

Don't know if it's the same with Zeds but Seem to recall this coming up a while ago with Pattern Triple stands. Seems the metal is much thinner and easier to bend.

I had this bike 22years I do not want to restore it i like they way it has aged but with the faded chrome but would like to clean the engine I spent most of the day on the tank but will not get repainted I prefer the look that it has aged but kept in good condition how they use to look not to shiny...

"Putoline Chain & engine degreaser (expensive BUT it works) then a scotch pad, a tube of Autosol and a very large tub of elbow grease..... then get rubbing. Wrap the pad around a flat blade screwdriver to get into the fins." . That would have been my post, but as said it takes lots of...

There are no 'Quick' ways to clean an engine, otherwise every ones lump would be super clean.

Happy to tell you how I do them, but it takes time, effort and a lot of patience.

Not really what you're after but just be shown a VERY nice early (April 72) Blue H2 that will be for sale shortly.

Same as.....
