Afternoon all, I've been meaning to join for some time and finally done so.

Here's my '82 Z1000J which I've owned since '85. I consigned it to the garage as a box of parts in the late '90's after snapping a ring and then finding the frame was corroded. I was drawn to more modern stuff, but always intended to put it back together. It's been a bit of a long slog but now just a few things to sort and she should be on the road.

It's stock bar a 1075 Wiseco kit, period mods and a Kipkawa S1 replica cooler and how I really wanted to be all those years ago.

Good one

I remember lusting after a brown Z1000J that Boyers used to race in the Production Racer national series- it was as cool as a snowmans arse

Get some more piccies posted
