Irish west coast.

[Z1streetfighter71]

Well everyone, im over on the wesht coast of Ireland, riding Kawasaki for over 30 years with one Suzuki, Yamaha and Hodna in there for good measure. Currently under second lockdown and in the middle of rebuilding my 1975 Z1b mono shock from scratch, ironing out all the lumps that were built into her as a younger man back in 2009.
Also i have just bought "the Phoenix" a build by a fellow builder over in the states that was unfortunately in a bad accident and ill be bringing her back to life "again" in the coming year. Fingers crossed she will be heading over to me very soon.
And last but not least i just picked up a Gpz1100 unitrack from Poland for small money that im going to be bringing back to a resto-mod finish, this will be my new everyday bike so with all the luck ill be riding her in the spring. Iv a lot

as she was before the rebuild.

Welcome to the Forum. Look forward to seeing the progress on these. That was some crash to end up with the tank ripped off. I think that yellow strap must have got caught in the chain.

Hi Z1streetfighter71

welcome to the club!
Seems you're into nice projects. I prefer originals but like to see what people can do with old bikes.
Good luck with the rebuild!
Greetings from Belgium
