Cleaned up the repaired barrel, heated to 150 DegC and the liners dropped straight in. Should be ready to start engine reassembly shortly.

Crich event is a great day out, the BSA Goldstar line-up was in 2018.

Glenn, are you looking for just Z1 bikes or does it include Z1A & Z1B? If it does then i'm hoping to have a Z1B ready in time for the event.

The strip down of the bike started at the end of September, removing all the usual parts to enable the barrel to be removed. Engine will remain in the frame. I decided to replace the stator since this was the original one, noticed one wire was showing bare wires and also hoping that a new stator wil...

I've started a refresh on my Z1B so that it should be in good running order to attend as many Z1 50th Anniversary events next year as possible. The plan was to have a rebore & new pistons to +0.5mm on a spare barrel that I had purchased some years ago and had no broken fins. At the same time I w...

2021 riding season has been quite nice and September has been absolutely great. I finished my riding last week and have now put the bike to bed...Bike went great all this year, still need to resolve the offset sprocket coming loose and 2nd gear jumping into neutral above 4k RPM, otherwise more than ...

I have a cut down seat, almost new, has the Z1 plunger fitted, but you can get the catch from Zpower to convert for Z900 & Z1000 fitting.
Will sell for £100 plus postage.
Some photos attached.

It looks like you have a few problems, certainly exhaust valves have been hitting pistons, where the impact has happened might suggest that the incorrect pistons are indeed fitted. One would expect the impact to occur where the cut was on the piston crown if there was a cam timing problem (I've atta...

Both bikes look perfect, scenery looks great and the roads look even better.

I have found that the nut holding the offset sprocket on my Z900 engine has a tendency to come loose after a few hundred miles. The offending sprocket nut will rotate and actually force its way past the bent over tab washer. I could not believe this at first, however I painted some marks to observe ...

I'm looking for a 903 barrel (with or without liners) in good condition without any fin damage.
Thanks for looking.

After riding the bike a fair amount last year, covering around 1400 miles, I had a number of things I would try and improve / modernise during the winter. Yesterday was a nice sunny spring day so I decided to start the bike after all main upgrades had been done. The following changes have been carri...
