Looking good Bill, going to rebuild my harness next week or so, pulled the old one to pieces, in a very bad way, breaks all over it.

Nice work there coming along well.. Just putting the finishing touches to a set of z650 clocks, as we speak.. Took me a long time to find the right green for the inturnal surround, but I think it's good match, and makes the clocks look fresh.. Also needles repainted... As the tips fade to a dull orange.... A set of Z1000 switch gear sent out last week..

Put the bodywork on yesterday after having piped up the brakes and bled them far from my favourite job,
just badges to fit and fuel to add now :)

My favourite Z650 of all and I bet it sounds lovely with that Delkevic on? Strange though that they went from triple disc back to rear drum on later models?
