hi all
Hi, i'm Tony from Cumbria, Ive liked the big Zed's for a very long time but they have always been out of my price range !!! so ended up building 3 customs with Z1 bodywork and bandit engines. ive not long sold the last one i built and just picked up a rough Z1000LTD winter project, already had a standard seat and also got a Z1 after market (new) tank, looking for an 18inch mag rear wheel next, yeah i'm going for the late 70's standard look.
Re: hi all
It also let me be the first to say it….
We like to see a project
Re: hi all
I'll try and post a pic or two when i figure out how too !!!!
Re: hi all

Re: hi all

Hi Tony
welcome to the club!
It's never too late for a "happy childhood" you know
Congratulations with your bike, she seems to be in good shape.
Don't change too much and keep the parts you don't use.
Have fun!
Greetings from Belgium.

the differences between a little boy and an adult man is the price and size of their toys!
Re: hi all
thanks Philippe, it looks better in the pic than it does in the flesh !!!!! needs a lot of cleaning up. haven't had it started yet but ive ordered a battery and it'll be here today, so fingers crossed the engine is good.

are you in Cumbria ?Re: hi all
well it lives 
it was a bit farty and popping at first and a bit of white smoke out the right silencer 
but according to the seller it hasn't run for over 6 years, the smoke went after a while so im putting that down to sticky rings !!!! motor sounds nice and quiet though. will keep running it on and off and see what happens with the smoke. off to do a compression test while the engine is warm.
