20240217_173509.jpg Bought this Z1A last year and recently got around to getting work done on it so it's ready to ride again. It had a horrible, ratty 4/1, pod filters and butchered sidepanels to accommodate and some minor electrical issues. I've swapped the exhaust for a Kerker Swapped the side pa...

yip, they're 26mm z1000 (as stated) a1/2 carbs not 28mm, the lack of side mounted air screws along with the underslung adjustment screws identifies them as such. Happy to be corrected. I don't "specialise" on the subject :lol: Cheeky! :lol: Sorry, I did mean 26mm, but typo-ed 28.... Corre...

Thanks Ultim8pc carbs can be a nightmare sometimes though have set them up a few times. Carbs were bought quite a few years ago from guy who had them just sat in damp garage for a while. Turns out No.3 had tip of air screw jammed in body which had snapped off and was a bugger to get it out without ...

Nice one. I finished a full Z900 resto last year.
I have toms of parts if you get stuck for anything.

Re: "wheels have a slightly different spoke design where the spoke meets the rim" Not the first time I've read this ! I think this is a reference to the later J series wheel design. I was not referring to J wheels. I have some photos somewhere of what I mean. Maybe the Z1r wheels I had we...

Still looking Sorry, still haven't unburied my exhausts... How you getting on with the digging ? Sorry have not been able to even get to them as I am so overwhelmingly rammed with stuff. Thankfully a couple of bikes are going in the new year, so I'll have room to move stuff to get to the pipes. Kee...

Sorry to hear you are another one added to the list of unfortunate suckers who have fallen fowl of Busso. I presume they asked you to pay by bank transfer? If not and you luckily paid by credit card, I'd get them involved to get a refund. I see Warren has already linked to the sad and sorry saga tha...
