Happy to upload some pics. What file sharing service are people usually using, as I understand I cannot upload directly?

Welcome and yes you can. There's a pic upload help topic on here someplace.
But essentially all you need to do is under the reply box I'm typing in is an attachment tab.
Upload the file/picture then hit add/insert tab.

Welcome to the forum, plenty of knowledgeable people and def a friendly bunch!
Whereabouts in Lincolshire are you as im just over the Humber bridge in Preston nr Hull, if youre ever passing pop in for a brew, all welcome but not all at same time please. I'd never cope

[GBZ1000]

Thanks to all for the welcome messages, and thanks to Warren for the advice on the pics. 1st now now (hopefully!) attached.

Gray17, I'm in the South of Lincolnshire, just South of Sleaford.

The bike is a 1977 Z1000 A1, with 3 previous owners, one of whom stored it for 25 years. They guy I just bought it off got it running again, (after a fashion), but the brakes were shot, brake fluid leaking from every orifice!

The eagle eyed amongst you will spot that although it is an A1 model, the forks have ben reversed to make it look like an A2, with the calipers behind the fork legs. I will return them back to normal during the refurb.

I'm sure I will be the beneficiary of lots of good advice over the next weeks and months.

Hi and welcome onboard!

It’s a nice looking bike with much potential and the wheels look good!

Looking forward to more photos as you progress!

[Gray17]

Nice looking bike, which you can ride once brakes sorted and improve as and when you choose.
Yes been through sleaford before on way to Gt Yarmouth so know where ir is, alas a fair way away from me, but offer stands if youre ever in the area!

Thanks. I also have the spoked wheels, but they need some attention. I will probably put them back on the bike once I have made some progress in other areas. The brake calipers and master cylinders have gone off for refurbishment, and all of the new hoses have arrived courtesy of Z-Power, so it will not be too long before the brakes are up to spec again.

Hi, nice looking A1 you've got
I'm Not too far away from you (about 8 miles south of Lincoln): often have a sunny day bimble over towards Fulbeck, Caythorpe, Leadenham on my z900.
Keep the pics coming of your resto.
Cheers Tim
