Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hello men an update of the restoration. The past week I took the engine apart...bad news! When honing the second cylinder bore it turned out there was a major damage all around the bore. There must have been water in the second cylinder when the engine was stored resulting in a deep rusty indentatio...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hello men It's been a month since my last post, sorry for that... But I've been busy the last month: - a lot of parts received a red oxide primer and a coat of olive drab. - I was able to buy a lot of parts (starter engine, dynamo, good brake drums and wheel hubs, a lot of smaller parts,...) - the j...

Re: Z1000st rear mudguard
Hi men as I've mentioned before, way back in the past, the rear mudguards of an ST and a MK2 look the same but they aren't. They're very hard to find because a lot of them were cut in the past. Have a look in the topic " differences between ST and MK2" Good luck with the search for a long ...
Re: fun times
Hi Alan
thanks for the pictures!
She's almost complete, just a little bit of work, go for it.
You didn't mention there's a Z1000ST (E2) in the barn, hiding behind her...

Re: New member from Bracknell, Berkshire
Hi Bashful
nice KZ1000A1 in Z900A4 colours you have there.
It's a pitty that the forks are reversed and that the brake calipers stand behind the fork legs...but she has double disk rotors and that's a bonus!
But a nice bike anyway, congratulations.

Re: New Member
Hi Mark welcome to he club! When you're searching a Z900 it all depends on your technical skills and of the money you can spend. If you know something about mechanics, if you have a workshop with the appropriate tools and if you have money to spend, I would say buy a wreck of a Z900 and start a rest...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hi Mathh I never get bored at all, always doing something and I have to divide the available time. Wow, 120 Km/h for a Willys jeep, the top speed of a WW2 jeep was about 90 Km/h...no wonder that the engine made a terrible noise when going that fast. It's a long stroke engine, lots of power at low re...
Re: Hello
Hi scottz1st welcome to the club! You've made a good choice by buying a Z1000 ST (E1). These are great bikes, I have 3 of them for the moment and I love them. Put some pictures up here please, don't be shy, show us your pride and beauty. As far as the resto is concerned: please don't change too much...

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hi guys
the official name is "Olive drab"...they say it's green with a yellow shade... I have no idea how they make it but I like it.
The British used a different shade in WW2, a bit darker.
It will become a US vehicle of the 101 AB so Olive drab will be the colour.

Re: Restoration of a 1942 Willys jeep GPW Ford
Hi men a bit of progress the past week: The frame is painted in olive drab, my wife helped me to turn it over several times in between the different coats of paint.

Re: Wiring Z1R help please
Hi SuffolkZ1r the first picture: no idea (perhaps the connection of the reserve lighting relay of the US version, it switches the head beam on when the driving light wire is broken...) the second picture is the stop lamp failure relay. It lets the red light flash in the dash board (rev counter or id...
