My Z900-A4......

My Z1000-A1 Project.....the Vance & Hines sidewinder has had to go due to R/H bend cornering issues....it's now running a Marving (same as my 900). Rode her last Friday, taking in as many speed bumps on route as possible to make sure there was enough clearance under the engine...all good

I've modified both paint sets so that I can swap over if I fancy a change.

Two very nice bikes there. Particularly like the Orange paint set.

Cheers guys, Simon at Flying Tiger Paintwork is responsible for both paint sets. The `orange` scheme was originally designed for the drag bike...I wanted something metalflake and garish...typical of a drag bike from the late seventies. I sat down and sketched out the design opting for a tangerine and deep red scheme...if anything the inspiration for the stripes came from seeing Rod Pallants `LA Hooker` drag bike run in the 70's / 80's. Here is a photo of the Z1000 wearing this particular paint set....also shows the V&H sidewinder that I've unfortunately had to swap for the Marving (although I'm still pleased with the overall look). I'll run the bike in the green for a while (some people have commented that they prefer it) and then I'll swap the paint sets over in the summer. The `green` paint set is also a bit trick, although it doesn't show up in the photo, the original colour diamond dark green candy has been laid over a heavy metalflake...in the sunlight it really pops.

Yes really like these too. It's nice to see that as a club we encompass lots of variations of a perfect Z and I like all of them. The engineering is inspiring but I also love the colour schemes.
It would be a very boring world if everyone just put bikes back to standard. Like some kind of robot invasion. Viva la difrence. It's why we are here.
