Picked it up on the Saturday morning after a 500 mile round trip in my rustbucket Corsa
The bike seems to be as described and all there with a few extra bits chucked in as well.
The one major down side to it is that some idiot has cut off the rear footrest loops off the frame and then attempted to re fabricate some replacement loops in their place and made a right balls up of the job.
There are some nice bits in with the bike and the old standard parts as well
good bits include a pair of alloy wheels and a standard front wheel, alloy swin arm and standard swing arm, 4/1 and standard pipes, 2/4 seat, wiseco 1105cc piston kit, spare bottom end of engine and some new parts as well including grab rail, switches and a few other small bits.
As well as the footrest loops the only other obvious problem that I can see that needs to be sorted out are some minor water marks on 2 of the bores which I am hopeing to be able to hone out.
The standard pipes are solid with good chrome but they are dented to hell and back , they look as if they have been used to beat the crap out of next doors cat at 3am one morning
, but even so they are going back on the bike !
The game plan is not to go the full restoration route but to fix the rear footrest frame loops then paint the frame , get hold of a standard spoked rear wheel ( anyone got a rear wheel that it looking for a new home
) clean the rest of the parts and rebuild the engine with whats there using a new gasket set and hopefully land up with a slightly scruffy looking well used originalish Z900
and all this within the next 6 weeks
hopefully ready in time for the South West Rally
I will post more photos as work progresses
first job is find the tin opener to get it back out of the car
