If you're restoring a Z1 this is the 'go to' book to identify you have the correct parts.

I've probably got one I can spare. What size are you boring out to? (As I have quite a few with large overbored liners).

As stated £20k is not realistic for a z900. The very top money for restored to as new, with nothing missing or incorrect is £16k. A bike which has all original parts is not really worth more, but would sell easier to a collector. However, they are about £12k for a more average restored one. You can ...

Hi there Hello and welcome. Sadly the LTD are not worth anything near the prices of the normal z900, or even the later z1000. But they are a good cheap way to make a special, or to make a z900 clone by changing the parts that differ. If you're doing the resto to keep it then it doesn't matter. If yo...

More excellent progress. I love to see people using engineering skills to solve problems and get stuff done.

Yes. Price depends on what sort of condition. £600-700 for a mint/refurbished set. £400 for a usable/tidy set and £250 for a rough set that need work.

I'd be interested in a set.

I have one on a z900 I am building. very good quality.

Gary Horsman has some NOS ones I believe. But £70 I believe!
