Nearly finished the resto of my A1. This weekend had to re set the valve timing (following a bit of stupidity on my part), did the valve clearances (2 new shims), had to fit a new Cam idler gear as the old one was very suspect. Planned on fitting the Busso replica exhaust system but only managed the...

Welcome, two lovely bikes

Piggy,
its called Renapur Balsam, been using it for years - its good stuff

Thanks guys - Paul, Tim, thanks - I'll send a pm shortly.
Cheers Tim,

Thanks chaps - some good leads.
As costly as the shipping is for the US complete unit, it might yet be my best, as I also need a new rear light unit to replace the round 1972-75 unit wrongly fitted to my Z900A4.
Cheers Tim

Its for the short US mudguard - currently has the 72-75 round light and duck tail fitted, looks nice but was trying to put her back to standard.
Cheers Tim

Hi folks, I know its a bit optimistic, but does anyone have for sale a spare rear light bracket for a Z900A4 / Z1000A1. think Kawa part No is: 23036-046 I've sourced a good one in the US but sadly they want a trillion dollars in shipping. Please let me know if you've got one you for sale. Thanks Tim

Think they look a set of Campagnolo wheels, used to fit them to Ducati and Guzzi sports models in the 70's. My mate is doing a Guzzi project and considered a replica set from Marvic, until he checked out the price: seriously expensive :shock: http://www.twowheelclassics.co.uk/catalogue/campagnolowhe...

Bill, hi
Re the 900RS, really like the bike - looks great with a nice balance of power, brakes handling etc, only negatives for me are fast idle which is way too intrusive, and a very abrupt initial throttle response: but I suppose you get used to it. You pleased with yours ?

Cheers Tim

Hi, in the past i used Dream Machine and had excellent results, although I recognise that's not always been the case for other forum members. Following feedback from several Z1OC members I've recently used Sean Dewis in Ilkeston: he knows his stuff when it comes to old Zeds and has done a great job ...

Bill, hi
Ive only just seen this posting - but your bike looks very nice and is way better than my sh1tter, I mean, resto project
Cheers Tim

Bill, hi Good and bad news - couple of pics attached Good news first, is that I found the surplus baffle amongst the mountain of bits that was once my H1f :eek Bad news is that whilst its solid the threaded screw mount has something fused into the threads - looks like the old screw, and will need dr...

Bill, I did have a spare H1f baffle (in good condition) somewhere in my garage about a year ago, but i've not seen it lurking in my pile of H1f odds and sods recently , but I'll have a look tomorrow and see if I can locate it. If I find it Ill give you a shout.

Cheers Tim

Snowy, in the past I've also used some hose from Z Power and its gone rigid before fitted my tank on :shock: - was only used a couple of times from my auxilliary petrol tank - now thrown it in the bin. Since changed to Nitrile (NBR) - its meant to be far more resistant, and does seem better. Cheers ...

Thanks, will acquire / fit a new one.
Chrisu - yes crank was at TDC, but since then I think my ineptitude may have caused me a new issue :-(
