Z1000 A1 project
Hi all, just thought you would like to see some pics of my z1000 a1, they won't be an exact before & after as i had already started striping it down before taking photo's crossed my mind, still you should get some idea of the state he was in when i got him
i rode about on it in the summer after giving it a bit of a clean & replacing most of the chrome, but there was still a good amount of crud on(i'm sorry i can't get round this king of the road male thing)her

Most of the pictures were for my own use when putting things back together again, wish i had thought about it a bit more at the time
The bike was purchased by me from spike island motorcycles in Eastleigh nr. Southampton, it was very rough, it had no rear guard, the front was a short plastic thing, it had a horrible home made 4 into 1, no indicators & had a mk2 engine fitted which probably burnt more oil than petrol.
so i spent the next year replacing all the horrible or missing bits with bright new chrome, here's a pic of the good parts that i would be re using

The wheels that came with the bike were both 18" mags & the back one didn't fit correctly, in fact it was so far out the disc was visibly warped & it all needed re spacing, luckily Guyzed sold me the mags off his A2
heres one back from being blasted
Also picked up a replacement engine off ebay, swapped it with the original connected it up & she fired up on about 3rd go & runs really sweetly, i only paid £335 for it, bargain
here's the engine after blasting

The next lot of photo's were taken after i had the frame & parts blasted & sprayed, i'll start with the engine fitted back in the frame
Here is the front wheel freshly painted, callipers are waiting on new seal kits from z-power & i've got a nice set of stainless pistons & bleed nipples from Phil Denton engineering

Picked up the paint work last thursday from Revolution in Reading, Berks, this is the same lot that did Guyzed's bike, they do a really good job at a reasoable price( Graham, the owner is a biker too)
decided on a black & green contrasting scheem in Z1 design
