Are you sure it's an A4 tank?......

The later Z thou tank while looking pretty much identical is actually narrower across the frame opening.

Send Malcolm (BykerBoy) a PM. He'll do you a nice copy for a Tenner.

Having checked out date codes from what I have to hand, I have a letter U stamped on the shocks, what looks like 01 or 81 7 22 number inside the points cover, and 6 11, and 6 12 stamped on the handlebar controls, nothing on the carbs that I can see, so what should be the date stamp for the discs ? ...

what date discs do You need Not sure the date disc, just undrilled front and rear 1977 a, trying to restore one, if that helps Paul Do you know when your Thou was built David?. If so Paul may have discs he could match to your bike from their Date Stamp. http://kawtriple.com/mraxl/tips/datecodes/dat...

As above. If you can see anything behind you much past 20mph there's a chance they're genuine.

I used some silicon behind the glass on an old pattern set and it improved them no-end.

An early unrestored SS is about as good as it gets Fitzer wise....

Forget the XSR and keep the fizzer.

Great Start David.

When it's done you'll be in a VERY exclusive club, ie a genuine UK A1 looking how the good people at KHI intended.

You sorted for paint?.

Just wanted to say hello, recently bought a Z1000 A1 basket case so will be asking lots of silly questions in the next FEW MONTHS until the money runs out...

Months?...... weeks more like!.


Welcome.

Poor things not got a lot of room in that cramped garage with all those Z1R's.....

More than happy to do you a favour and help you free up some space by sending one over my way.

Correct. But a 'genuine' UK one is much rarer and as such more expensive.

Z Power do a copy if you're not desperate for originality
