Thanks for the welcome and yes, I do hope to find the right bike and I'm willing to wait until it comes along. As to real world prices as opposed to some of the more speculative prices I've seen advertised, I would welcome advice as to a realistic price range as to what I should expect to pay - ide...

Fellow member was selling this rather nice A8 recently.....

I got this D model last month.

While most of the Zed range will fit, the wheels are Month & Year date stamped so might be worth listing when the bike was made in the off chance someone may have a similar date wheel to help keep your bike original.

And NEVER use WD40 on locks.

Bit of a long shot but has anyone got a H1 engine clutch casing they would be willing to part with?. (H1B onwards)

TIA.

I know it's not Zed related so please feel free to move it if you wish Mods.

Why feel guilty?, It's a gorgeous Bike.

I've used a stabiliser for several years now given the horrors you hear about the longevity of modern Fuel. I know some say it's just a Snake Oil, but it seems to works for me. Although I'd think having a well maintained bike in a good state of tune helps.

Looks Gorgeous. 'nowt wrong with H********

A4 looks a nice find.

Junk the comedy seat and that rear scaffolding, fit a set of 4x4's and you've got yourself a nice Z1.

As above. In the absence of OE 4-2, NOTHING looks as good as the 4x4.s

Welcome. Z1000A2 was available in two colours Red and green, however the US market got a third option of black with a gold pinstripe (pinstripe was same as red & green model). Alloys were also an option on late A2's so your bike could be a little more original than you think although Square cam ...

Anyway, I'm just in the process of importing a 1977 KZ900 from the USA as the right one came along at the right price. Same owner since '78, all original except for the seat and exhaust. Full service history, owners manual and toolkit. Does have a dint in the tank though... However, as I am a bit O...

Garry you're a feckin nightmare mate . One thing for sure though , that H1 will be a far more smarter thing when you sell it than now , as is your eye for detail :up Greetings Geoff. Trust you are Well?. Had agreed to buy a Shed, Seen all the pic's, had chapter and verse from the seller, so the dea...

not interested in the German shed at 12950 then :shock: If only it would have been £50 cheaper :( I'm getting the urge for another trip to see Richie and having him change mine to the other D-model colour :drool :drool :drool http://www.classickawasaki.com/greenh1dbodyset.JPG

Now the Thou has gone, and given my abject failure to source a Shed, I wanted something to fiddle with over the Winter, wasn't really looking for another oil burner but this quite rare 1972 (73 model) H1D came up on the bay at the right price, so I pulled the trigger. Bike is an old resto which was ...
