Your choice of paintwork is a real equivalent to a breath of fresh air :up

Thanks Jay but I cannot take the credit, coldsummer created the master piece

Anyway not done anything for ages, I went to buy tyres for the lovely powder coated Z1000 wheels and I thought I would ask what is the max rear wheel / tyre you can run - 180 was the reply, bugger said I the rear wheel is too big😪

So off to eBay purchased a ZXR rear wheel, thanks for the advice Rob (Z1015)

Here's a little picture, just need to get the right size spindle / spacers sorted now....

Once the wheel is properly centred you'll need the inner sprocket face 101mm from the wheel center which usually equates to approx 8mm off the sprocket carrier to align the chain with a 5/8ths offset front .
Using a 530 chain you should have around 4mm clearance either side to the frame and tyre.

Jay, this was a real labour of love for me, I invested way too much time and money into the project. It was intended to be the Zed I'd always wanted in my mind but circumstances took over. PJ was good enough to take over the mantle and from here on in it's his baby to do as he likes, I'm just happy that it now stands the chance of seeing the light of day.

I'm glad you like the paint, even if it pains you to know it was my idea. If we only share one thing in common, it's a love of the big old Zed.

Thanks again Paul for taking it on, can't wait to see it on the road.

(FYI - Paint was done by Ace of sprays in Bristol)

Simon (coldsummer), it doesn't pain me to know the paint scheme was your idea...
It's hardly the wrong orange is it :wink:

A big thank you to Steve (Gingerbear) for the alloy brackets, a little more adjusting and sorting out the mounting bolts and rear sets sorted

Cheers Pal

Decided to use a Z1000 engine that a very nice man sold to me (cheers Rob Peters)

Probably go for a big bore on her, any body got some z1000 barrels for sale?

I think black for the engine including covers - your thoughts??

Cheers
