Both pickups look Okay (to me anyway).

Hi Al, The dyna and the reg/rec and the coils were all purchased new in 2021 by previous owner and presumably fitted as and when he got to that part of the restoration. In terms of mileage they have all done about 140 miles by PO and about the same by me before the problems started. I didn't write t...

I recently brought a Z1B. Previous owner had restored it so all new parts and he said he had done about 140 miles. Seemed fine on a 2 mile test drive. Two days later it was delivered. Sorry for the length of this next bit....... I went about 10 miles to road test it properly and pulled over to check...

Waiting for bits now, dhl “parcel still in Manchester”.

Out of interest how long was it?

Awesome.

Every A4 that I have had has the one forward/one at 90 degrees outlets.
Avoiding the frame on tank removal is an acquired skill.

Great progress and great progress reporting.

Thanks, it's not without its faults but yes, it's a clean machine.

Bill, it's only free there if somebody else pays! nowhere beats your cafe and bike emporium.

Just me then.
Maybe I should have mentioned free coffee
Anyway, I awarded myself best kawasaki and best eco bike ....cos it's green

I'll be on the A4 Bill.
The Z1B search goes on......

Does anybody fancy a local meet this Saturday morning for coffee and a Zed chat?
When I say local I'm thinking of the Burton on Trent/ Uttoxeter/Cannock triangle....... central to those places is a coffee shop in Abbots Bromley which I use a lot.
Or from further afield if you're keen!
