Here's the ratchet strap in action, I managed to pull these shocks apart with 1 strap

You need discs off the B2, they are a bigger diameter than those fitted to the B1, the unitrac is totally different. I have an 1100r wheel on my B2 with EBC B2 discs which are excellent.

I use 2 ratchet straps to do this, 1 either side of the spring , doesnt do any damage when refitting. Very cheap too!

I've got 3 of them in various states of repair. B1 complete with cam caps and valves, B2 without caps, B2 gas flowed but has a damaged cap and the odd valve missing, good set of b2 cams as well. Let me know if any or a combination sound suitable.

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum, are you by chance the owner of the rather delightful P&M that was parked up opposite my ZXR750 at Cadwell last year?
Dave

My gpz will be available, taking it as a spare bike in case the zxr plays up.

Any news on this yet?

This belongs to a friend, he had it made for his Mk2 project and is shown resting in place in the first pic. It was made using an ST seat pan and modded and recovered by Steve Adams. It is mint and has never been sat on. Unfortunately the ST pan does not line up with the Mk2 mountings. Not sure how ...

Drew - I'm not really sure what it is, I think its a z1100a1 shaft, it's a us import so might be different to what we have here. The seat may have been altered a bit and Im tempted to loose the rear mudguard and fit some drop bars:D It's certainly not short of go but its in bits in the garden at the...

These are the same wheels fitted to my B2, I bought them new in 1989 I think, took ages to arrive and although the finish quality isnt the best I've never heard of them cracking, I had them powder coated last year so they were blasted and inspected for cracks at the same time, still good though. The...

Thanks for more input. I'm going to check a few things including the notch thing in the morning but I think I am going to have to learn to do this properly using the degree disc etc.
Martin thanks for the offer I will be in touch.

Hi Julian Thanks for the input. To clarify a few things, the cams are fitted correctly and the exhaust cam arrow lines up with the head, as you say the inlet arrow is slightly lower due to the cam cover being off. There is a new cam chain fitted. I think due to the skimmed head and barrel faces decr...

I've bolted my unitrac motor back together and cant get the cam timing marks to line up properly. The crankshaft T mark is a couple of degrees forward of where it should be when the cam marks line up properly with the head. Its much less than 1 tooth out. The head and barrels have been machined flat...

Thanks all. I shall give the silver steel rod a go.

As title does anyone have a useable one of these available? Looking for one without bad ridges at both ends or are there any alternatives? NLA from Kawasaki it seems.
Many Thanks
Dave
