Bloody hell! I do remember him! Didn’t talk much, as I recall.

Quiet at the back.

One of my rear pegs is refusing to stay up when told. Does anyone know if there’s an easy fix for this? Z-Power sell pattern replacements for £20 the pair, but I’d rather fix than replace if possible.

Ta.

Wine vaults is (was) still going! My best mates older Bro spent an inordinate amount of time in there during the 1990's, so much so he ended up as the "minesweeper" for the place! https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=minesweeping Spent too much time in there myself in those day...

Bloody hell, I lived in Southsea for years: Victoria Road South. The Zed I still have was knocked over when parked by a Pompey girl in a white Golf drop-head outside the Wine Vaults on Albert Rd in 1998. Insurance wrote it off for more than I paid for it, I bought it back and MOTed it, got a free bi...

I have Harrison 4 pots on my A4, a massive improvement over standard.

I’d also recommend removing the junction unit between the forks and replacing with 2 long brake lines directly from the master cylinder to the callipers.

Thanks mate! Looks like an excellent option. I've asked Harrison if they do a disc - let's see.

The only part of my front brake setup I haven't changed is the rotors. I'm using Harrison Billet callipers, which are great, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a Harrison disc that will go on in place of the standard?

Or any other recommendations, obviously.

Cheers!

Bike: z900 A4

Perfect! This is exactly the motivation I need to get the old girl on the road again. Might get the bike out too. It's the way I tell 'em.

My current set of standard carbs (a4) are well and truly past their use-by date, so I'm sourcing another set. However, I know I'm never going to get around to cleaning and servicing them, so I'm looking for someone in or near London who has the appropriate gear - and the experience - to renovate the...

Do you know if they'll work on an a4 with the standard airbox? I'd be interested if so.

I know everyone's got several sets of z900 carbs sitting in the back of the shed, seems the world is flooded wth perfectly functioning balanced sets, so I thought I'd make your life easier and take a set off your hands...

anyone?

So.........?

How much??

Sounds interesting! Do they offer an improvement in the leaking problems that the original carbs have? I guess the Z1-R carbs go straight on, without alteration?

I've heard so much about different carbs that are easy to fit and set up on a Z900 A4 - does anyone have actual first hand recommendations?

I've got a Yoshi style pipe now, so I reckon a bit of extra breathing space is required!

Those are gorgeous pipes! What are they? Where did you get them?
