Lots of cool parts on that. Will come up nice with a bit of refinishing

Got R1 rear wheel off ebay fitted with 200 section slick, it was a punt but fits with only0.43mm off centreline and nicely in centre of swingarm.

Is'nt that an a1/2, rear footrest hangers are different on b models, please correct me if I am being a t**t, worse still am I becoming a rivet counter.

I'm no rivet counter but I believe it to be an A2. It looks like a Zed and thats all that matters to me

if this is hanging about...I shudder to imaging what you work like if you want to hurry up...all this in one day!!!!

Certainly not one days work, just playing catchup on posting

1st things 1st, clean, clean, clean, vapour blast. Good job that work has a degreaser and a few blast cabinets. Many an hour spent after work cleaning and blasting all the engine casings. Here's some of them: [img] [img]http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/mikeandbron2012/IMG_0025_zps948dc260.jpg[...

So, give us a few hints on the PLAN Twisted Evil Jeez Pigford you don't hang around! Rough plan is: XJR13 rear swingarm, either Gazi or YSS shocks, R1 5VY rear wheel, and caliper, R1 5VY complete USD front end, Harris pipe or preferably stainless copy, flatsides, pod filters, cams, big bore, gas fl...

First thing I did when I got the bike back to my lair was to fully strip it all down and assess what I was dealing with.

I thought it time I made my first post about my Z1000 project. I have been fantasising about building my ultimate Zed for may years since I first laid eyes on one when I was about 16. I've built many a special including a GS1000, Duke 851, ZXR750, super Tenere, and ZRX11 to name a few. Never been ab...

Sorry, missed this one.
Fin damage
Ex stud damage
But the main one I don't like is the cracks between the plug holes and the valve seats on 2 pots. 1 crack goes right up the thread.
Do you have any experience of these cracks being repaired successfully?
Any info appreciated

I have a damaged Z1000 A2 cylinder head with cracks between the plug holes and valve seats on 2 pots, plus some fin damage and ex. stud boss damage. I would like to know peoples comments and experiences with getting damage like this fixed by an expert and if anyone can recommend someone's services t...

Mine off a Z1000A2 is basically toast (not economical to repair), so on the hunt for a good replacement. Needs to fit an A2, preferably a Z1000 head (I am assuming a Z900 head would also fit, but combustion chamber would be smaller??). Would prefer no fin damage, cracks, thread repairs or damaged th...

I am looking for a Harris 4 into 1 works system for Z900/Z1000, but must be painted steel, not chrome.

May have something you want to swap, or will pay cash.

On opening up the engine of my new project bike, a Z1000A2 was pleasantly surprised to find a Wiseco 1105cc piston kit inside. However my joy was soon tempered by the discovery of damage to piston no.4 where the top ring had broken up and wrecked the piston and bore. Head ok though. [img] [img]http:...
