Back in business :lon

i am back in business after the accident with sprox and chain coming off and blocket the backwheel. New swingarm in black with a much better chain adjustment mechanism than the old Zephyr one, new welded and powdercoated frame, new heavy duty gear box bearings, no fuc.... oil leak (I hope) , new Ã˜hlins rear shocks, new chain and sprox and ready to go :twisted:

Long time to summer doe :evil:

But anyway it's good to be ready.

Cracking job - I much prefer slotted chain adjusters, rather than the concentric type :wink:

What a fantastic looking bike, congratulations. I have bought a non-running Z900 as a project and want to bring it into the 21st century while keeping a largely standard look. Any chance of a photo of the left side so we can see how you have done the hydraulic clutch conversion?

And what sort of rearsets are they? Most of the ones I have seen on Japanese websites are designed for small Japanese persons and would be too cramped for me (I am 183cm tall). Yours look like a good compromise with decent legroom and integral rear master cylinder mounting.

I think the paint scheme really makes that bike
it is indeed a really awesome machine

Thank you all for showing interest and for nice words on my project.

Posting some more pictures of it and I hope for feedback and coments on evt. changing something. I have thought about painting the rear brakearm black with the Z1000 in silver. What do you guyes think of that?

To Londonz1... The rearsets are PMC-inc. in Japan. Agree with you about the position, thats the reason I bought them. They are not that extrem, and fit my driving position. I am 182cm.

Now that's a stunning steed.

I see MTC cast into the block... So how much room do they ponies have to fool around ?

Cheers,
Greg
