I've put 300 miles on the clock in the last week. Compared to my 1969 CB750, I have to admit that I prefer the Zed. It's great to ride and I love the way the power comes on. The engine is really smooth and tractable right down from around 25 mph in top gear and it just gets up and and goes if I crac...

Is the "Easy Clutch" a good idea?

I've since sourced the correct lever bolt. For the red colouring that goes on the choke and kill switch I used a product called "Rub and Buff" Mandarin. It's basically pigment suspended in wax. I think the colour is as correct as I'm going to get it. Note the control hasn't been repainted....
