Re: Z650 Special...not for the purist.
It's been a while since any updates on this one chaps...lots been going on over the last couple of years.
The plan is to, hopefully, have it ready to take over to the IOM for the Manx at the end of August.
Still masses to do but the engine is somewhere near ready to start putting together. Barrels are out to a 64mm bore ready to accept the Wiseco pistons.
The images of the paintset on the bike are with the bike still in mockup form.
The frame and ancillary parts have been powder coated. Paintset is done. Huge thanks to Stig at Stigs Custom paint in Charlwood (nr Gatwick) for the superb job of the paint. I wanted a heavy `70's metalflake and the white stripe to mimic the Kawasaki race bikes of that era.

If it's too loud....too bad.
