You have more to be starting your project than I do-lucky sod!

All the main bits seem to be there :lol: :roll:

Easy project over a weekend or two then,LOL!

I can't even decide on a direction for mine.

Looking forward to watching and learning

You're welcome to watch not sure you'll learn very much though, the only other I've done was a Z650F2 back in the 90's :D

Your engine number is close to mine KZT00AE 054070, although mine is the A2 version.

A bit 'anoraky' but I read that frame/engine numbers for...

1977 Z1000-A1
FRAME NUMBER: KZT00A-000001 >
ENGINE NUMBER: KZT00AE-000001 >

1978 Z1000-A2
FRAME NUMBER: KZT00A-027501 >
ENGINE NUMBER: KZT00AE-042501 >

Pics have been updated with bits back from mods, powder coating and blasting by local firms btw

Mine are
Frame KZT00A-015902
Engine KZT00AE-056392

So it looks like I have an A2 engine and A1 frame? If so that sits better with me having braced it and fitting the ZRX bits...
