First bit of progress on my newly aquired Z1a, DK purchase last December. If anyone is interested.

Looking good !

Those rear shocks are in excellent condition for originals. Have you refurbed them ?

Always interesting to see this sort of thing

Off course were interested

Shocks untouched apart from polish as is the rear mudguard.
Wheel to build up in a week or so.

Always interesting , looking good , do you have a before pic

Delivery from DK , November:

Not a Z1A

Yes it is! Some very early Z1a's carried the original paint scheme, mine has a lot of original bits including small engine badge

My totally unproven theory is....August 73 z1a introduction, use up Z1 bits including engines and slot into new frames....numbers miles apart in the USA..
My switchgear is Jan 73, Z1 territory

Not forgetting the black engine which engine number is Z1 original

Hi Adrian
nice project! Keep the pictures coming, you know we all like them.

lovely job well done

Back in 73, I'd recon any prospective Z1A customer would be pretty pissed off if he got last years model!!

I know they overpainted the tank etc. and some of the parts may be old stock but I'm pretty sure no Z1A came with a black engine.

As I said earlier, the engine is Z1 with the engine number.
I have read on the classibikes webpage that a 'few z1a came decked out in the original livery.
Someone must be able to confirm this, I'll dig the article out.
