Was just wondering what exactly the wodding does and why not run them without it. Someone once said it was only used to run the bike in, it was later removed, though i could never see the reason for removing it. I have just fitted some new baffles(i made myself) to me standard pipes. The ones that c...

Hi Mick, You need to be careful if you just drop the yokes down the forks as it will shorten the wheelbase, which basicaly means it will quicken the stearing,(make it quicker/easyer to change direction through corners), but the side effect of this is to make it less stable in a straight line (could ...

stiletto's and nice flowery frock with matching handbag.

only ME lives here , .

oops missed one

got the frame / swingarm etc back at the end of september.. put it on the kitchen table to have a look at it and and just kept putting more bits on to see how it all looked, and er well this happened over the next few days, http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc125/floydsz1/P8160010.jpg and then this...

Almost all jap bikes were designed to run on unleaded, from the 1960's onwards. Think it had something to do with the emission laws in the usa, or the laws that were coming in in the future, as the usa is the biggest market. I remember a mate who restores old cars once said that it was hardly worth ...

Ive just finished rebuilding me z1A, when i took the engine out to powder coat the frame etc, i wasnt going to strip it down as it was running perfect. While it was out i thought id take the sump off and clean the filter on the oil pump as this is often forgoten about. It was nice and clean, but whe...

nearly forgot, does the front mudgaurd look ok, seems a bit small to me. (or wrong way round)

Like has been said it needs a seat, rear shox, airbox,. its probably a usa import, front reflectors on frame, though cant see reflectors on rear light lens,. Its a z900A4 with z1B bobywork. pipes are approx £1000, (clamps, bolts, link pipes etc) personaly i would'nt pay any more than £2000, prob a...

Think you should be ok getting it registered, you wont get the original registration number, though it should be the same year. Think jerry will be able to sort it or if not the vintage japanes motorcycle club can help. Thing you will need to have a complete bike though before any off this can be do...

Was wondering if firing the engine up when the inlet cam is on the 27th pin instead of the 28th would damage the valves. Thats what i did to mine,
Feel stupid as iv'e rebuilt these engines many times over the years, seems to run ok now though. was just noisy when it was on the 27th one.

You can also try my mate, He used to have a very nice 73 Z1 a few years ago. He is about half mile from jct 34 on M6 at lancaster. He's done all my paint jobs and i can highly recommend him. He's called mally. tel him kinny sent you.
