Thats a beautiful A1 - she looks great. :up What did you use on the engine to get that shine - very nice. Strange coincidence, but I recently finished my A1 resto and its developed a leaking petcock (brand new PMC unit - got some Kawa genuine seals to retro fit) and a potential blockage / gremlin to...

Lovely job: she looks fantastic !

That looks very nice

Gav, hi Just had my Z1000A1 petrol filler cap re-chromed (and its made of best quality monkey metal): went in looking well tired and came back shiny and new. The chromer said the end product might not be perfect, but it turned out very nice. The guy I use is based in Hinckley: might be worth a call ...

That looks stunning - top job

Thanks Rob, will sort them this afternoon.

Guys, trying to fettle my A1 and a job I need to do is sync / balance the carbs.
Last bike I did was a Z1300 and was advised to aim for between 18 - 25 in / hg
Is there a recognised target range to aim for with a totally standard Zed thou carb set up ?

Any advice appreciated - Cheers Tim

Managed to sort the rear light bracket and number plate positioning and have put UK spec rear shocks on her - I'm pleased as those little changes makes the bike look better. Re exhausts heat shields - I tried to fit the pair of standard heat shields off my old knackered exhausts and could not get th...

Hi,
sorry do not know the part number for the oil pressure switch boot, but Z-Power sell repro ones for the Z1000 A1.

Cheers Tim

Looks super Philippe, great work.
Do love the B2 (had one new back in the day - loved that bike) and yours now looks a lovely example

Good luck with he resto - sounds good, keen to see how she develops.
Keep the pics coming.

Cheers Tim

Pete, hi as Bill said - Bob the Seat (Robert Dillingham), trades on eBay as Bob the Seat, but also directly as Morretti Trading: if you get stuck I can PM you his email address contact details. Re exhausts, not perfect, but well pleased with them for the money they cost - re the sound - only managed...

Today I wheeled my Z1000A1 resto out of the garage for the first time in 18 months - hopefully the shake down runs (when permitted) wont produce too many gremlins. Tried to keep her as original as I could, all chrome is original except the "Busso Pipes" grab rail and Petrol filler cap (whi...

Super piccy - a lovely Z900 in a great location -

Andrew, had same issue with both a Z13 and my Z900 - only one year after doing an oil / filter change. I tried a little penetrating oil, heat and an extension bar but there was more chance of the bike toppling over than the 17mm plug coming free. I know you said you did not want to go near the impac...
