Been some years since i was last there for the bike show, thought i'd have a trip out (a leisurely drive on the M6??? ) to see whats new. Guess i'm trying to see what will be on the second hand market in the future :roll: Anyhow, this was my view of the day - 1a[1].jpg 1b[1].jpg 100_0456[1].jpg 100_...

The Z1 http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy17/sanderz900/Out%20an%20about/4-1.jpg Now as a Z1R http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy17/sanderz900/Out%20an%20about/5-1.jpg Mk2 in the making http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy17/sanderz900/Out%20an%20about/6-1.jpg http://i773.photobucket.com/albums...

Had a good ol' chat with Jon Keeling of Racefit at the NEC yesterday. The exhaust on show is what drew me in - pure titanium. http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy17/sanderz900/Out%20an%20about/1-2.jpg When he told me it was for a Z1.... well i was hooked. The quality of the welds is second to non a...

Say no more ............

.......

The 'Bargain Hunt' is certainly paying off, £15 for the swingarm!! Recon yer could sell the shocker and get yer money back there easily! Powdercoat / paint it black after the welding an it'll look like new. Rear wheel complete with disc & cush drive - another bargain. Stick at it TLC this is so...

Keep it goin' Crofty, be a cracker this

- Go for it, its your bike, do it how you want to.

I'll keep 'chipping away'

Still have to make a 'proper' mount for the back light - some brackets off the tail mount .......all ideas swirling round in the amoeba at the moment so until then its - WIP as usual




Latoz!

The rear pegs are now welded.

Dropped off late at night and had em back next day!!

Smett yer a fookin' star

Quality job!

Brilliant!!! Shear craftmanship in both wood and metal. A hell of a lot of hours work gone into it - always simplified by "so we knocked another up" easier said than done. Respect :bow English wheel - tell that to the kids of today - proper sheetmetal work. Best let yer crack on, the clock...

Very neatly done that seat base, like it.

Nice one Mr Pigford!

Look forward to seeing this progress. I'm sure those 916 parts wont be around for long.

Those Dymags - quality!!

As Baldylocks has said do yer fancy the P&M look?

Great pics there Paul.
Fair play to those racing for going ahead in those conditions, got some bollox.

Well, I'd have to stop at the cardy, but if this one ever makes it to a club stand, I will wear some flares & platform shoes (I wasn't allowed them as a kid). It's just the hair I'll struggle with! :oops: :D Best get one of these just in case then :lol: - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-MENS-GING...
