Bike looks super , I usually clean mine when I get home but yet to take wheel and swingarm off to do so ! Are you going to paint the wheels gold ? Also as one of the few who is lucky enough to own both the 1000 and 1100 , could you tell us which one is nicer to ride and what do you notice is better ...

Hi
Thought it looked familiar , just had a dig in the attic and found this photo from the 86 IOM TT . Impressed me 30 years ago , good luck with it for the next 30 !!

Very very nice , thanks
Richard

Love that paint scheme , it was always going to struggle next to green but these days has a bit of exclusivity and would be quite tempted myself by this colour. More pics please !
Richard

Welcome Sean ,
I am also originally from Torbay and had an Z1100r back in the good old days ( its now in Brixham ) Post some pics I may even recognise your bike if its local .
All the best
Richard

Yep walked past the Z750 twin many times thinking it was some kind of Suzuki DR in those colours, maybe he should paint it green . Anyway a bit more original than the usual cafe racer conversion.

Had a good blast at the weekend down to near Stuttgart where Peter Krauss (Edersee 2012 and Z Club Germany ) had a gathering for 70's and 80's bikes at his home / work . An amazing collection of bikes in his '' shed '' and some interesting Z's in the car park. http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r49...

Many happy returns to the bike.

Great pics, the two Zeds next to each other look super , just up my street ! Interesting to see the difference between the two of them , the 1100r looks very long and low parked next to your J . Did it handle with the new back end ?
Richard

Ok , thank you both again
Cheers
Richard

Its me again, Done the tests. Only getting 50v ac on 2 out of the three yellow wires Earth check yellow cables all showing no continuity Red white 12.33v dc Brown 12.28v dc Black yellow earth continuity I guess this means new alternator ! Anyone any recommendations? Maybe reg/rec is still ok? Thank ...

Thanks both of you for your input , I will give it a go at the weekend and let you know what I find. Typical that the bike breaks just as the sun comes out ! Have to take the H...a out instead !

Hello All, After it's winter break took the Gpz out in the lovely spring sunshine and after a nice blast it would not fire back up battery had flattened itself. A quick investigation found melted block connector to reg/rec , and only continuity between 2 of the 3 yellow alternator wires, one of the ...

I am afraid you are looking for one of the rarest parts there is , as it is not shared with any other model and there were very few in the first place. I have been looking for 2 years and have never seen one come up . A few people have them hidden away in cellars and garages but do not expect them t...

Here it is as it was when I picked it up in the summer , quite a transformation . Looking forward to a blast when I am over again.
