kz1000 build
Ground up build of a slightly knackered z1000. Intention is to build to remind me of my youth, which was some time ago, to what I would call old school modified. Period parts to be sourced.

Re: kz1000 build
Solid start! Period factory parts or Period performance parts?

Period performance. The sort of stuff we used to do back in the seventies. Lots of stainless, Harris, Seat, oil cooler, to name a few.
Re: kz1000 build
braced frame was a worthwhile period mod, especially if you're going to try and add power but looks like it's too late for that now. sorry to piss in your chips.

Re: kz1000 build
It'll be good to see an old school 70's style Zed !
So many get "restored" these days.
I for one don't remember ANYBODY riding about on a STANDARD Zed back then. It was part of what owning a big Zed was all about !
Good luck with the build !
