Z1 Recession rebuild

#1 PostAuthor: slacker » Sun Aug 14, 2011 9:19 pm

I bought the Z1 3 years ago, from a widow. The guy had the bike in the front room in his house for 12 years. The history shows all the owners back to 1973 and the engine and frame have not changed since first purchased. The first couple of photos are as purchased and then rebuild back to it's original colours.

The old ignition system was a Martek 440, I replaced it with a new dyna 'S' system.
