) was still out there, which was confirmed by a visit to the DVLA Vehicle enquiry page. It is MoTd and taxed until summer this year. If anyone out there knows the present-day owner or if they are a member on here, I'd love to know how it is running.
For the present-day owner here's a list of all the things I had done to it between 77 and 79:
The engine tuning was done by Russell Savoury of S+S Performance fame: R&T cams, valves and springs, head polished and ported, 1015cc, crankshaft welded up. K&N air filters, Boyer electronic ignition, oil cooler. The exhaust system was the 5th I tried: original, S+S, Marving, Devil, until finally I used the Devil headers and had my own "silencer" made courtesy of Dunlop Aviation Coventry.
1976 or 77 Z900 fork legs to do away with the reflector bosses. Rear-mounted calipers. S&W shocks and front fork springs and valving. Steering damper. Mick Grant 7 Star mag wheels. Dresda box-section swingarm. Gussets welded in strategic places on the frame. Tapered roller headset bearings. Lockheed twin cast iron drilled discs. Rickman rearsets. Guiliani seat.
Photos show the development from when I bought it with the Rickman fairing, rearsets and 4-4 exhaust.
