Nice bike. Can I ask what the frames strengthening kit comprises. Am after another z900 but my mechanical skills/knowledge is limited so not seen one with that detail before?

All, many thanks remove all parts piece of cake with all your tips. Will deliver tank etc to TCP Norwich for tank seal and re-spray on Wed. I can't remember who recommended TCP on the forum, but having contacted Ian at TCP seems sound bloke.

Thanks PJ, I assume tank comes off with tap so can empy remaining fuel by opening tap. Bone question I am sure.

Not really great with mechanicals but before attempting to remove for re-painting, could anyone tell me how best to remove the tank on a Z900A4?

Is it quite straight forward or are there any gotchas I need to look out for?

Thanks in advance from a mechanical luddite!

Don't do what I did once, many years ago..... Purchased a "new old stock" Takasago 19" rim and took it to a wheel-builder with hub and spokes, only to find out it was a 36 hole wheel from a "Suzuki". The wheel-builder was half way thru the preliminary spoke fitting, when he...

Can I re-use the existing spokes the easy answer is YES. if your spokes are in good condition they will be fine to use. Do you have a wheel builder local to you? I am not aware of any wheel builder near Aylesbury but if anyone knows one that would be great. I have a spare front takasago rim which I...

I am intending to get my z900-a4 rims rechromed. Can I re-use the existing spokes which seem pretty perfect?

Any help on this welcome.

Thanks

Thanks, just done it.

Thanks, will do.

Need to have my Z900 Spoked Wheels rechromed. Anyone know a good re-chromer? Near Aylesbury would be good.

If anyone has done this, could you let me know how stripped down will the wheels need to be?
