You sure can Robin Applebe engineering did the job.
Strip,clean,inspect,balance and weld with new big ends and mains came to £580.

Was it a Z1100R crank or one from something else?
(I thought the 1100R had the Unitrak engine and the crank came from the factory with the centre pin welded)

original z1100r crank

Was the centre pin welded before it went for refurb - just wondering as I have a Unitrak crank and hope that it's welded.

No the pin was not welded as i recall but i could be having a senior moment there.
Basically my intructions where do the bussiness to it.

ok quick up date head has had new seats cut, vale guides installed and had ports matched/stage 1 flowed all done by Roger Upperton. new valves, springs, followers fitted along with slotted sprockets new cam shells and the cleaned up and deburred cam. head bolted on with hd studs and nuts

Been a while since my last update but after much grief swearing and hitting the resto wall. the engine is together, the chain conversion and offset sprocket sorted. Along with much jiggery pokery to get the Kerker to clear swing arm bracing..... WELL...

IT LIVES!

looks a million $$$ - which it probably is

Looks FAB.

Club stand hasn't seen a lot of Green recently.

probably cost me more than the bikes value. but its worth it to me as i wanted one since they were released. i only had to wait 30yrs.
if the club wants to use it for a display stand, no problem.

Very nice Swampy, well worth the grief !!

Tell me about it - me Harris for one

Still a great hobby (these bikes) as you can always get a bulk of the value back if needed ..... Get it on the stand lad

BHS meeting next year then swampy? Look better at the end than this year.
