Very nice. I'm just doing my Z1000j2 I'll be happy if it anywhere near this good. Well done for preserving another classic bike.

Wow! That is quite the head turner!
I'm buying a Z650 in similar condition, the chrome has me worried though, I'll have quite a bit more than you. Did you rechrome or replace?

Thanks all
No rechroming (except replacement folk stancions), I just used the old trick - toothpaste and fine wire wool. Note chrome headlight mounts from bro gray, standard ones are black and got his z1 Koni's too which are a direct fit.
