Re: Belstaff one-piece leathers (cheap)

The only label states UK/US 44, EURO 54 Not sure how that equates to height/waist etc. I'm 6'0" of medium build and they fit me, they'd be fine for someone a little shorter but no taller. EDIT: Just tried them on again after 15 years. They were fine around my 34" waist. I'd guess 36" ...

Belstaff one-piece leathers (cheap)

Belstaff one-piece leathers. Fully kite-marked protection (for the era) including shoulders, elbows, spine, back-side and knees. Bought these in 2002 and only used a few times. No marks and immaculate. Just wondered if there’s any interest, maybe if you go tracking or drag racing and just need a che...

Re: KZ1000J ELR variation on a theme

Anyone like to make an offer around £5500 before I put it on the C&C auction ?
My reserve won't be much less that this.

Re: KZ1000J ELR variation on a theme

Bump !

Decided to register the bike as historic myself, so the new owner doesn't have that hassle.
Just waiting for the V5 to come back from DVLA (4 weeks now :mad ).

Re: Z1000 - Dyna S Ignition Timing Problem

Just to be sure, I presume these were the "proper" Dyna S systems, and not the cheap Chinese copies which are available now?
For a highly recommended system (I've got one on my J) fitting the backing pate back-to-front is a bit... shall we say "careless" in production?
