Re: Z1B rebuild
So here's a long overdue update!
Life got a little busy after my last post, nothing earth shattering but the Z1B rebuild just stalled as more important(arguably) things came into my life. I kept buying and refurbing bits and with the help of a knowledgeable pal we started assembly last week
As with all rebuilds wee issues keep cropping up. Different fork cartridges in the forks, one correct the other from who knows where. The original air box that came with the bike and I was so pleased about has shrunk sat on the shelf over the years and no longer fits even after soaking in hot water etc etc.
I'm close to making decisions about brakes and shocks. I'm going for the "tastefully modded" look (Exhaustcraft 4into1 already here) so I'm thinking black ikon shocks and a single pretech caliper but interested in anyones opinions
So once again sorry for the delay but we are hopefully on the home straight

Re: Z1B rebuild
That does look really nice
Re: Z1B rebuild
Yes looks awesome....don't worry about the delay, you want to get it all right.
As you say, life tends to get in the way...my project has been 3 years now

Re: Z1B rebuild
This is looking like a lovely build, but that caliper needs to be behind the forks if at all, just my taste.

Yes I think you're right but not sure I can swap it now. I think when I ordered it I had to specify which mount ie front or back

what if you moved the disc to the right hand side and swapped the legs as well
