Z1000 A1 A2 Z1R head wanted

[chrisNI]

Z1000 A1 A2 Z1R head wanted in reasonable shape for a local guy here who bought a bike and the head’s a real mess. Anyone got anything they might part with? PM me thanks

[rpeters]

i have a Z1R head complte that has been stripped and blasted ready for paint and rebuild. I doubt it would be cheap though, what wrong with your mates existing head?

More what's not wrong with it. We're trying to help him sort it at reasonable cost, his head would need about £800 spent to fix it but even then it's been badly ported which can't be undone and fins haven't been well repaired.

Chris. John Browse has bloody loads of heads. I only live down the road so if you want me to go over and eyeball one for you, no problem just PM me with your exact requirements.

I have a head i got with a load of parts for a z1000a2 missing cam caps but apart from that it looks ok.

Try d&k .most of the heads you come across now are going to need work

[chrisNI]

Thanks for replies. Eventually went with getting Buzzard to comprehensively redo the chap’s original head, it needed a lot of work and wasn’t a cheap option but it’s a good job now and a known quantity, and ready to bolt on as opposed to spending nearly as much on a second hand head with no valves, unseen, and from an unknown origin … good heads these days are relatively scarce so most of what’s available is stuff that in days gone by would have been regarded as uneconomic to repair.

Did you buy that A2 down in Mayobridge?

[James]

[Stugill]

Good shout getting Buzzard to sort it, you know it's sound.
