Grateful if someone could please confirm the type of master cylinder fitted to the Z900 - as far as I know, the UK spec had a clear plastic tall reservoir body for twin discs and the KZ's was shorter but was still clear. Looking through FleaBay, other websites and google photos I notice that many Z9...

Nice z1 , not mine though.It did have original pipes . Only saw 3 Z1a's in the show and one won an award (not mine though!). The one that won was exactly the same as mine but did have better chrome and polishing. Is the owner on here? Really disappointed not to win anything but never mind. The Z1 t...

Went to the Bristol Classic Bike Show yesterday which is the first bike show I've been to in about 30 years. Wasn't what I was expecting as the the show seemed to be aimed at the Brit bike scene. Saw some nice Z1A and Bs, but no Z1s or Z900s there, here's a few photos on a rather nice Z1A - does it ...

That's stunning Garry and whilst I'm not a generally a two stroker fan I do love the classic lines of H1 and H2s!

Welcome from me too, I'm also a newbie who is currently sitting on the 'darkside' with a 93 Blade...............

I've found the guys on here very friendly and more than willing to share their knowledge.

Hi, I used Revolution custom paint, over in Burghfield Reading. So not to far for you. The guy you need to speak is Graham ( 011 8957 4577 ). He did a brilliant job on my GSXR SRAD a few years ago, similar sort of damage to you bike. It came out perfect. cheers Kev Thanks Kev, The panels are now wi...

I didn't think £600 + was too bad considering the amount of work involved. That's assuming they do a good job. Looking at the damage, £600 seems very reasonable - have they seen it? If you're only selling it, why do you care about originality? If you can't get the original decals nor panels, then...

have you thought about these kits i fitted one to a nc 400 about 6 years ago i was surprised by the quality of the panels http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fairing-Body-Kit-for-H****-CBR900RR-CBR893-1992-1993-1994-1995-CBR-900-SP-AB-/131996979330?fits=Year%3A1993%7CMake%3AHonda&hash=item1ebba21082:g:QJ0A...

Thanks guys, plenty of leads to follow-up this week.

There is a company called Altamura at Camberly - who have done paintwork for me in the past, they do a good job, but they aren't cheap. Being local they were my first port of call in September, but discovered they had been taken into liquidation by their parent company in 2015 - not sure what happe...

I'm currently doing repairs and a light restoration on my 93 FireBlade in order to sell it in the Spring and buy a Z900 - the bike I almost bought nearly new in 1977.......... The FireBlade's right fairing sections have minor accident damage. OE decals are unavailable and the repro upper fairing dec...
