Thanks for the greeting.
I gather you have a bike business that must be handy maintaining your bikes.
Do you have Z ?

Hi,
Yes, the business developed out of my hobby. But it's not full time - I like it that way..
I personally have a z1a, z1b, z900, z1000a1, z1000ST and a couple of MK2s. All of them needing work or restoration.
I'm currently restoring a z900 for my best friend.

You might be best speaking to Buzzard he has special equipment for accurately boring out valve guide holes to fit oversize guides, I was talking to him about it last week. He knows a lot about heads :D

Hi ChrisNi,
Just to say I’ve spoken with Buzzard and he was most helpful.
So thank you again for pointing me in his direction.
