73 Z1 Head
After the Tacho drive detonated a hole in my head I am looking for a usable head with the 6mm studs. Ideally something that can be bolted straight on but will consider anything at this time. Cheers

Re: 73 Z1 Head
Theres one of these listed on ebay at the moment.
Not cheap but it sounds like it might fit the bill.
ebay number 354921146796
Getting harder to find these days and the price is probably around about the going rate for a complete head.
As I always say, you need to check it for yourself.

Cheers, I have seen the ones at D&k just don’t want to end up with something that’s worse than what I have and they do not seem cheap but like you say they are getting thin on the ground. May give them a bell for better pics and you can put in best offers. Thanks

If it helps at all to mention; I've bought a good few items from D&K in recent years and the experience has always been 100%.
Re: 73 Z1 Head
Cheers, good to know.

Used to buy full motors for less that price
It seems to me it's all day light robbery these days

Re: 73 Z1 Head
A new Z1 in 1973 would cost you £1088. Today, people are asking prices, £15K to £20K and more. If you can find a GOOD USABLE cylinder head then expect to pay a fair price.
Theres a lot of cylinder heads about which need a lot of work and somebody who knows what they're doing to do it. By the time you've done the work to bring them back to useable condition, you'll have spent more money than the Good Usable one you might have bought in the first place.
Time was when you could buy a complete running bike for 6 or 700 pounds...... but times have changed
MOST IMPORTANT make sure you satisfy yourself that the cylinder head you're buying is a good one.

Re: 73 Z1 Head
Don't forget, your old head will have a resale value which will offset some of the cost.

Re: 73 Z1 Head
The chap that I have used before said he can repair it, so I will stick with the devil I know and keep my eye out for a cheap spare if such a thing exists.

Funny how D&K don't mention that it's gonna require some in depth rectification

Re: 73 Z1 Head
