ttiw :welc

Brackets nearly impossible :shock:

Pmc are making brackets now though... :D :D so if you’re not rivet countingly extreme about originality which I figure you’re not you’ll be fine. Fairings not so bad.

Welcome aboard Will27

Originally a Gloucestershire lad – I moved over to the Oxford area about 6 years ago.

Bourton-o-t-w and Bibury have been some of my favourite places to visit for over 40yrs.

Now I’m Oxford based - the road from Burford to Bibury is a great riding road IMO - then get a tea at the trout farm cafe or an ice cream :D Also, often drive through on the way to see my father in Stroud

Drop me a PM if you 2 plan a meet at Bibury
When life hands you lemons, reach for the vodka.

Z1B (in Z1A colours), Z1000A1, ZRX1100 C4, Suzuki TS125J (being restored), Suzuki T125J (in boxes), Garelli Rekord MKII (awaiting restoration), most of a Garelli Rekord MKI

Welcome to the forum. I live in Faringdon, Oxfordshire. I own a Lawson replica plus a couple of other Z based bikes. This year will be the first year that all 3 will be road legal!

My Lawson is very heavily modded and i do have a box of standard parts that I am toying with selling. These include stock headlight mounts and a headlight. All in excellent condition but not making the sell decision just yet.

Hi Will
wellcome to the forum!
Show us some pics, we're all curious!
Take care of your knee, don't overdo it! It's harder to replace than a part of a bike!
