Very nice but those who prefer old school methods

Thanks Grahamm

Amazing bikes guys. Always fancied a visit to one of the CRMC meets. Which one is closest to Scotland?

Are the casings from a Z900/1000 with Z1000J/R head fitted? What's swinging arm from? Looks pretty solid.
Nice bike Graham.

"One of the other things to look out for is.. Make damm sure the collets are NOT touching the back of the shim bucket, this has happened to a friends bike where someone ground far too much of the valve stem so none of it was protruding".

Standard gearing: probably 5k rpm

Clean off all of the silicon including the "extra" silicon from the engine casing and the grommet.
Buff up the rubber grommet with rough emery paper to provide a rough keyed surface.
Apply a little silicon, press fit to casing, apply new gasket with light smear of grease and there you go.

Maybe these guys can help if you can't source an original part.

The black art of cam timing, lobe centres, cam heights, overlaps.

Now there would be an interesting article for the club magazine. Or has it been done before?

I think it was the Z900 A4 (1976) and later models that had a seat locks fitted.

Mr Ferret may be able to sort you out.
