As the 650 is up and running now ive started on the 900 Limited i,it won't be one for the purists as its gonna
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
ive had the pleasure to own

The frame is back from powdercoaters now and a Gentleman on here set me up with some
alloys for it to get rid of 16" back wheel so let the fun begin

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
Regards Pizzaman
