Good start :D get the sprocket carrier and rear sprocket on there,with the front and the back sprockets on and running true (laser is best as even a piece of steel can have a few mm run off) see what space there is between the sprocket carrier and the swing arm and the rear brake mount, the swing a...

I had an idea recently to build a poor mans version of the once un loved but now sought after Mk 2 Z1000. I have bought a 1000 S T frame , a couple of panels . Having a few other projects and parts about I had already found some ZZR1400 wheels and swing arm (190 tyre ) which were going into another ...

I have just bought a S T frame to do similar. Did you manage to shed any weight from the frame and did you brace it anywhere ? There isnt much weight to shed mate and no need to add more in bracing, the frame is solid, i would be more concerned about running gear, what front and back end to use, th...

The 400 j is very popular in Japan , a lot were exported back there in the 90's when they were cheap along with a few other models they are keen on. I supplied a few to Bat m/c's back then .

I have a tidy set of Z1b crank cases for sale , no damage or repairs , they have been vapour blasted today and are looking good. £450.

Has anyone here found a supplier of A2 tank and tailpiece transfers who can supply a different colour to std.

Another addition to the parts pile. Neither bike has any brake or clutch controls and i've been scouring Ebay etc for months and months for decent hydraulic cylinders that don't have road rash or covered in fur with snapped levers and still priced like they were made of gold when these popped up on...

Thanks , I mean more off a later bike that would fit the Z mountings.

Has anyone found some modern rider pegs where the mountings fit a Z1000 A1 frame . Just mounting and pegs obviously gear linkage and r brake set up would need adapting. Thanks in advance
