Z900 PROJECT

#1 PostAuthor: london calling » Sun Jul 27, 2008 5:28 am

Hopefully here are a couple of pics of my Z900 project.
I bought the bike back in February as an un-registered KZ900 with the 386 import document.
It was pretty complete but missing side panels and air box.
The seat was a right mess with a rotten base.
Got a pair of side panels from Jerry the Berry and gave it a coat of paint to give it some colour.
2:4 seat from Keef I.O.W. :wink:
Airbox from the club's very own Bruce Willis look-a-like :roll:
Set of used baffles from FloydZ1.
I had the rust in the petrol tank chemically removed.
Hoping to get the carbs,stripped,checked over and ultra-sonically cleaned before I try to get the old girl fired up some time in August.
If she runs o.k. then it's on with the MOT preparation and U.K. registration.

Jack, as big and ugly as the grab rail is, you might want to consider leaving it on. At your age it might be required just to help you get on the bike.
