be a poor mans Z1 in colours to match my z900rs , i know some people will be yawning now but fancied doing
one different to normal for my self :) ,couple pictures hopefully to follow , i think it was the scruffiest engine

Hi Bill, the resto coming on great - a credit to you! One question: what did you use to clean up the crankcases, barrels etc? Have you lacquered yem after or left as is?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work :biggrin

Regards Pizzaman
Pizzaman :roll:
