Re: Vendetta and his shaft addiction
So, back again, life just gets in the way, bereavement, financial issues and more life changes meant I had to sell the 2 x Z1000 Sts I had, ( one to a club member luckily).
I never should have sold my original rebuild but divorce required it, won't be doing that again.
However, when I did sell , I asked the buyer to give me 1st refusal if he ever sold as I put my heart and soul into that rebuild and , I got a call recently saying he was selling up. No money but a credit card transfer came to the rescue, ( let's hope I can pay that off soonest) and I picked her up at the weekend.
New owner had done some changes, new paint, carb refresh, seat cover and a bikini fairing that I am not sure I like, also losing the original clocks for a combined speedo /rev counter thing ( not sure I like this either).
Has some issues, new battery required, has only done 200 miles since i sold her and she has been sitting for a while so needs a brake fluid flush and maybe rebuild, will see. The choke lever is stuck, seems one or more of the choke plungers on the carb may be stuck, will need to remove the carbs to investigate this, any ideas anyone?
Anyway , here are some pics of her, different from when I sold her but still the same beautiful bike underneath.
