Great job your doing Graham,whens the firing up date ? Dont forget the gates are open on the 28th March , Touch wood
Re: NOV 72 EURO spec
It looks very good with the Delkevic pipes on, can't wait for mine to come. I own them, but they are in a container somewhere.
That seat cover makes mine (apparently the same as your earlier replica one) look like a 2D photocopy, the 'puffy look' is how I remember them when Z1s were new, somehow it just looks much comfier. I'll build mine with what I have for now, but I may be troubling Z Fever for a new cover, assuming I can persuade them to ship to me, if I can face wrestling it on that is. No airing cupboard, so I'd need either a hot day or her industrial spec hairdryer. She's very precious about me borrowing it for the garage, so I'd have to do it when she was out...

I think fire up within the next 2 weeks, then I have to get it registered on UK plates as it is a Swedish bike and they want to come and inspect it.

Im sure you will be pleased with your pipes, one thing to point out is that you may want to get 2 original or replica balance pipe connectors as the ones they supplied to me arnt quite right looking. I am very pleased with the Z fever cover its the best on the market, its really worth the struggle to fit. The strap which was extra however must be made by a different supplier as the leather grain is slightly off. In the end I used the pit replica strap material and the Z fever buckles
No problem with Z fever sending you must email them first and they will produce a order have just had another cover arrived must have been lucky no duty or handling fee was needed this end,

Re: NOV 72 EURO spec
Update,
Back in 2019 I sent off the forms to UK register this Swedish bike, however the DVSA said they wanted to inspect it when I told them is was in bits being restored they said it couldn't be looked at until fully assembled.
Roll on 2021 bike now complete DVSA inspector came to check over the bike i guess to see if it exists and frame and engine numbers tally anyway he says I should have a reg number and V5 within a couple of weeks yippee.
