Anyone going ?

Seems to be a few Carb questions on here ATM. Must be the time of year to get the bike runnning right ready for some sun. I have a question too. I've rebuilt my carbs with new keyster kits. Cleaned and blown out all the crap with the airline. Set the slide hieghts. Balanced them on the vacume gauge ...

What sort of time do you meet normally ?

I'd like to try and get there, however I'm on cal this weekend and the bike is missing an engine. Would be good to see a couple of Zed for inspiration.

Bit of chrome bling added last night



....anyone have a tissue ?

I think this is probably correct because the route is a little longer to pass the calipers. I think I have an A1 speedo cable and it is a bit tight, the cable is also a bit knackered so I'll get a new one for an A2 and let you know if it's any better.

After finding out I had two different calipers and then finding a matching one at Stoneleigh I have now got the brakes back on :D http://blog.jsdi.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/brakes.jpg New stainless pistons, seals, brake lines, pads, banjo bolts, copper washers, fluid, stainless bleed nipples ...

I am really looking forward to getting back on it and riding it. Hopefully the ride will be even better now with the new bearings, brakes etc. I don't intend to fully restore it this year. I want to get it on the road for spring to enjoy it. The most frustrating thing at the mo is getting the correc...

Thanks Phil. Will def' make the Griffin this year, bike or no bike.

LOL, not a tired as when I had to push it after the throttle cable broke.

...and when it melted the fuse box

...and when it got a flat tyre

...and when it was pissing petrol out of the carbs all over the brand new rear tyre that I just replace because of the flat.

Thanks for the offer hillbilly but I found a 43mm caliper at Stoneleigh today. I have a spare 38mm caliper if anyone needs one now ;)

Need a caliper that will take a 43mm piston for twin disk setup on a Z1000A1. I have one currently that is stamped with an L on the bottom (which I guess is the Left) so need a right.

If you have one and want to sell could you send me a pic/spec.

Thanks
Dave.

Parts book is showing right and left caliper pistons for uk twin disc as being the same - 42mm 38mm showing for the A2 Just done both of mine and got the kit from http://www.bitzforbikes.co.uk at reasonable price Keith Cheers Keith. Did they swap from 2 x 43mm pistons to 2 x 38mm pistons between A1...

Starting to take shape after a few months in boxes:



Was running in Aug last year but stripped down over winter to tidy up a little, which turned out to be tidy up a lot

This is the one. Needs a new piston and seals:
