Latest z900 purchase
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2018 10:02 pm
Picked this z900 up from it's American owner last year and due to assorted issues it didn't arrive with until June.
Haven't had any time to do anything other than give it a quick check over and start it up - started second prod and runs well.
Obviously it not all original, but it's tidy enough.
Previous owner bought if from the chap who'd had it repainted, put on 1015 barrel and pistons, 29mm smoothbores and Dyna ignition and coils . Not to mention the chromed engine casings and skillfully 'remodelled' seat (with original base though).. I guess I need to take a closer look and see if it has any tasty cams fitted though.
It also has a Kerker with the 'Race' baffle - sounds pretty awesome but not obnoxiously loud.
The paintwork is not exactly the right colour but it's decent enough.
Chrome is generally good, but rear mudguard not so and has been painted with chrome paint.
Nice drilled front disc.
A few oil leaks from the usual places.
However, not sure what to do with it though. It's too nice to do a full resto, but could be turned to standard spec without to much issue.
What do you guys think? Keep it? Sell it? Tidy it up? Restore it?
