Hello From Lincolnshire
Thanks for adding me. I'm a new owner of a 1977 Z1000 A1 restoration project.

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.
Found it

Re: Hello From Lincolnshire
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.

Re: Hello From Lincolnshire
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.

Re: Hello From Lincolnshire
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
