Well, I just picked this up in the USA.
The price was right and I think it has potential. Seller says it's had a ground up rebuild and the top end done.
I think it could be made into a nice(r) non-standard z900 without spending huge money..
What do you guys think?

In general I don't mind a bit of black/white contrast on a bike... but that's pretty horrible as it stands !

Change the handlebars
Rear sets
Set of black 17" rims laced onto the existing hubs
Second disc
Decent calipers
Braced swingarm
Loose the fork gaiters
Job Done

I like how it looks

I’d strip down to nothing and paint the frame a different colour.

Its still a Z900, you can always change what you dont like.

SO that's how you make the mighty ZED look like a 125

That's my thoughts..

Yeah, I suppose purple metal flake would look okay.

Definitely loads of potential there for making into a crackin' Zed.
Ride it as for now if its good to go (if and when we get a 'dry spell')
You can make small changes 'as and when' during the year.

If it was Deep Purple I’d agree.

Yes, a Deep Purple frame and bodywork with golden pinstripes and gold plated parts would look absolutely great! So seventies!

Likewise - paint the frame black lose the gaiters and the painted fork legs. Red Japanese flag on the tank. Job done.

Adrian would it have to be 24 carat?
