Hi,

hi john,

I have a Z1 block (903), but has been bored out to take a 998 overbore kit. I have the 998 pistons as well, are you interest? Ian

Davy,

The headlamp bowl was satin when removed.

I am not sure if that is correct

Hi
I'm getting some bit of my bike powered coated.

On a 1973 Z1, what bits are satin black?

The headlamp bowl, front wheel hub, top yoke? any others.

Thanks
