Hello All

I am a new member to the Z1 owners club and thought I would post a couple of pictures of my Z 1000st. It was a bit of a basket case when we bought it a couple of years ago and got it back on the road at the beginning of the year. It’s the first bike I have ever restored, I’m no mechanic and made plenty of mistakes doing it. I will be interested what real experts think of it.

Thanks for the Nice comments Chaps, I still got a few things to sort out not least finding another speedo which can only be described as optimistic, so have no idea what speed I’m actually doing.Also the tank decided to leak after I had it sprayed, cured the leak but need to get the paint repaired. But all in al I’m very proud of it and love riding it when ever I can.

Hello Kev

The photos was taken at Upnor whilst I was out on a little ride a couple of Sundays ago.
