Awesome, thanks Gents - didn't think that plug was the same size, but I can see how it goes on. GuyZed, you are a gent - I got back from a toyrun today and discovered he'd dropped one off for me... :-)

Thanks Floyd - that's actually really helpful. Any suggestions on what to use to blank it off?

Gents, quick question - I'm finally getting around to fitting my new, repainted tank on the z650 after the pinhole debacle, and I'm discovering that my fuel tap doesn't fit - the fuel filter is in slightly the wrong place to go in the hole on the tank cleanly. I think this means that the new tank is...

Harry is the man to contact about this project - he'll be posting on this thread later: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee360/pilchardcustard/IMG_0660.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee360/pilchardcustard/IMG_0663.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee360/pilchardcustard/IMG_0665.jpg

Nice looking engine as well. How long do you reckon before you are rolling?

It might be slow, but you have made a massive amount of progress - won't take long to finish those last few jobs off! Shocks look good!

I'll be there, but not on a kawasaki....

Sorry guys - it took me a while to get the replacement tank (thanks buckle) dropped off. Some info for you - the painter was Altamura in camberley - they did Dr Rod's z900 as well. Lovely guys, brilliant work, but a bit slow. Basically when I dropped in a new tank they told me they'd sealed a whole ...

coldsummer, one word of warning - if there's any possibility there's a pinhole, seriously think about a new/different tank. I had mine sealed and 3 weeks after I put petrol in it the vapour pressure had created a huge blister in my lovely new paintwork.... http://www.z1ownersclub.co.uk/forum/viewtop...

Thats awesome. I was just wondering the other day what a 650 in black and silver would look like (Thinking about a second paintset) - now I know, and it looks great, but I need to come upwith something original now!

Great news it's on the move again. Can't wait to see the pictures...

Some pictures from today. Highlights for me included zorded's modelling poses, russ living up to the image of the club by coming up with spares on the spot, redbeards bike suiting him more than any other bike on the planet possibly could.... Brilliant weather, well done Guy. http://i535.photobucket....

Thanks Buckle - looks lovely. Well, it doesn't, but it could, if you know what I mean.

Ted1r, if M1ks doesn't have them can you PM me what you want for them?

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280354983982 as well - as it appears it MAY be dent free... :-) I'd always rather get one from a known source though! :-)

Awesome, thanks Buckle. Let me know what you want for it. Really appreciate the help.
