found this and had to have it

I am normally looking for bikes that are all original or need very little work as with having quite a few already that need work it does not make much scene to keep upping the work load
well this one was a little different can you work out what it is ?
after looking at it then making the phone call to check out the numbers and a few pic emailed a deal was struck
a ferry booked and the bike trailer ready for a trip to south Germany only 820 mile each way
when i told the seller i was in deed coming he reply was good as there is a long list of others waiting if you dropped out
for any one who has not guessed yet its a Z1000 MK2 with what at first look is a Z1000 A1 tank and possibly tail unit and a steel based 2/4 Seat again z1000a most likely, the frame is not cut off at the back like the Z1R i bought a couple of years ago to fit the duck tail unit which is very good news
In January I picked up a MK2 paint set and a few other bits like a rear light and mount, if i borrow just a very small amount of parts from my other Mk2 build this will be back in her own cloths by the end of the week (they will need painting in the MK2 red) exhausts are soiled but will need a re plating down the road, head light mounts I have
new tyres are on carbs were stripped and cleaned and balanced she rides all OK a deep clean should see the MK2 looking her best for now
the other bike on the trailer is the Z1R with no paint set on it as its waiting to be picked up I hope next week that need a rear light bracket making and welding back in place as well as seat mounts and seat lock holder will try to keep you posted to how that works out
more pics to follow
