Yours look like they are portrait, so before you load them edit them so they become landscape and they should load up properly

Hi Bill
you're on the right track!
Mind the demons and the gremlins in the loom! They're after your common sense and they try to make you crazy and to loose your mind.
Good luck with the electrics.

Had a bit of time on the Z900 ltd yesterday and sorted the electrics also put on the Carbs so
nearly time to press the noisy button and see how she sounds with the Vance & Hines 4 into 1
then it'll just be a case of putting the pretty bits on ie repainted bodywork and waiting for a
reg number from DVLA :D

Im nearing the end of the road with the Ltd project now , the DVLA is sending a inspector 5 Aug to check it as there was a discrepancy on NOVA
by D&K Motorcycles when they fetched it in and sadly not picked up by previous owner who's had it since 2014 and done nowt with her
ive fitted the airbox exhaust i bought from Australia a copy hopefully a couple of pics , i also bought the rubber bung for the hole in the
dash on my Z1 did they have somer there back in the day?

Thanks kind Sir, it'll end up being a relatively cheap 900 for just a bit of work :)

Well the DVLA Inspector has been and gone and said he couldn't see any reason a reg number couldn't
be sorted for it but as he said there only contractors who don't even get to know why there checking
the vehicles anyway but says i'll know either way in 10 days
Funny thing was the first thing he said on arrival was its not a D&K Import is it :(
