Thanks for the input guys. Looking to go back to standard wheels so will offer up for sale once the resto has started.

It’s a genuine UK Z1b - Un-loved for many years.

New build thread to follow...

Wow, that's come straight out of the 80's... I love it! It still has the foam grips from back in the day too.

How much for the mags Paul?
