Hi Moizeau get a "new"tank, repairing yours is asking for trouble. The ST tank is fairly easy to find. The fuel tank of an ST only fits to an ST. You can put another tank on your frame but it must be adapted. If you're a PUM have a look at the "King's lineage" topic "Differe...

Hi Moizeau
welcome to the club!
Good choice, an ST is a beast! Heavy but very reliable.
I have 5 ST's and experience in restoring them. A lot of parts are easy to find, some are not.
If you have a question , don't hesitate, just ask.

Hi Ultim8pc now that's a good excuse to buy another bike: "Honey, I found an exhaust and I bought it...but it's stil mounted on a bike so I had to take that one allso...'. :blush I would suggest you keep the J as she is,( she looks lovely :luv ) and find another exhaust for your MK2! GrtZ Phili...

Hello guys as promised, some pictures of the meeting. DSCN3895.JPG I arrived at 8.40 AM, I recieved ticket number "1" After one hour or so, other Japanese classic bikes started to arrive. DSCN3900.JPG At 11 AM a little ride out of about 45 miles started, one hour later most of the bikes re...

Hi Ultim8pc

I thought you did, but one never knows... "J" or "K" is a detail but details DO matter!

Hi Ultim8pc I don't know about a K exhaust system, A J will fit and looks the same as an A3 or A4 (MK2) Don't worry about the fitment, take care about the looks! Most of the classic Z 900 or Z 1000 exhausts can be fitted on the MK2, even a 4 in 4 if you have the brackets to attach it to the frame. I...

Hi men I started the restoration of a Z1000ST a few months ago. It's a bike that came from Holland and, as usual with all the bikes I buy, a wreck ... This is how it was when I bought it a few years ago. DSCN3574.JPG It was disassembled completely, the bolts and nuts were replated, the chromed parts...

Hi Ultim8pc
you're right, they are the same but with different stampings.
On the underside of the frame of my MK2 there are mounting points allthough the original MK2 exhaust I have doesn't have lugs to attach them with bolts on there.

Hi men the Z1B isn't finished yet...I planned to order a 4 in 4 exhaust in Germany at Z-Fever but André, the shop keeper, had a hart attack during the month of february and he's still recovering from it so his shop is closed until further notice... I planned to order an exhaust for my '72 Z1 and to ...

Hi CraigT good to hear you managed to get the engine running! The Z1 runs very fine on the 28 mm carbs but sometimes they're a pain in the a.. to synchronise. Do you have a shop manual? The correct method is described in there as wel as all the other things to know about your Z1. Try to find one, it...
