Club Restoration

As the title says, this concerns my restoration of my Z900 A4. I have had the bike for 12 years and had done a little to it each year - but nothing particularly substantial. It was respoked (10 years ago), had a bottom end gasket replaced (6 years ago), braided lines (3 years ago) and a carb overhau...

I don't know if you are still looking for a lid. I was in my garage yesterday sorting parts and pieces on my current restoration and came across what I am sure is an A4 airbox lid. I had forgotten it was there.

Yours if you want it - pm me some details and I will send you a picture.

Hi Morten - just seen your pictures. Looking good again. The contrast between the black paint and the winter snow is very attractive ....from here. And much nicer than in than in all that Norwegian summer rain :lol:
