Thanks for the swift reply Kawaman. A couple of questions though, when you say you had spacers made for the arm, were these in the form of sleeves so as to avoid drilling the pivot holes on the frame and retain the stock z1000j pivot bolt ? Secondly, can you remember if there is much difference in t...

Reading in this months classic bike about Alan Coopers Lawson Rep the fitting off the Zrx1100 swingarm was described as "a straight swap" has anybody here done this mod and was it a straight in/ out. I've been considering it for a while now and keen to get started.
Cheers.

For those of you in the Birmingham / West midlands area you could try Hayden Finishing in Digbeth, Birmingham 0121 772 5064. He does a cracking job and knows bikes well so he's not likely to polish your bits away to nothing. Usually a fairly quick turnaround and he won't rip you off. I've been using...

Thanks Rich, I have got a set of Harris headers for a J and also got another system which I think is for a z900. The headers I have are a bigger bore than the z9 set so I'd ideally like to use those if I can find a harris rear section to fit. But if that fails its on with the 900 system. Thanks agai...

I've had an offer of a good cond Harris system made for a Z900/z1000. Can anybody verify that this will go straight onto a z1000j2 with just a modification to the hanger. I seem to remember it will, just need the ok from some of you better informed guys.
Cheers,

Yeah, I was thinking maybe 1000rx clocks may be a possibility. While the Gpz750 clocks might look more period. Have to see what turns up. The thing is I only paid ?360 for the bike and it is in surprisingly good condition seeing as it was stored for nearly 10 years in a council lock up. I suppose on...

Thanks for the info Kiwiz. Problem is I don't actually have any clocks for the bike as it came without them. I think I'll be looking into just swapping the leccy drive for the gear driven one from the turbo.

Well thats put the kybosh on that idea then. Seriously though Jack thats the sort of info I'm after. I spose next move is to strip the drive mechanics from both wheels and see if I can junk the electronic drive in favour of the cable drive. I'll leave it until after Staffs, never know, some might sh...

Hi Jack, I've got a pair of zx750 Turbo wheels so maybe they will go in without too much fuss and was thinking of using Gpz750 unitrac clocks as the turbo clocks have a boost guage that is not required (unless I turbocharge the mutha). Another thought was to just use the speedo drive gubbins from th...

After a few weeks phoning around everywhere for a pair of second hand clocks (z1000j2) I've drawn a blank. There was a couple of s/h dealers that had some but they are asking fantasy prices. What I need to know has anyone replaced their clocks with anything else ? I'm not to concerned with originali...

Mikey, I don't see why not, but could not say for sure. Best thing is to have a word with them.
Here's their site

Good luck.

Mikey, I live not too far from P&P and have had work done by them in the past (it was a while back though). Last job was a one off custom seat base that they covered for me. I have to say it was an outstanding job and fast turnaround. You could do a lot worse than trying them.
