That link is great. Thanks. I'm able to save the file in I books on my iPhone and print off decent quality pictures. Unlike partzilla. However, partzilla does allow a cross reference of part numbers to other bike models.

I will indeed. Im a proper photo whore. 😝 When i built the F1, i must of taken a thousand photos. 😇

Thanks. I will have a hunt for it.

Evening all. As some of you may have seen on here already, im waiting on my bike to be shipped over from Florida. My plans are to completely strip the bike and rebuild it and fitting as much of the original stuff as possible. Whether that be refurbed original or good quality pattern parts. I have se...

I'm going to rebuild it to show standard. But I will end up having a lot of the chrome re done. The barrels on the bike have been bored out and flat slide carbs have been fitted. I'm keen to put the standard stuff back on. I have a chain guard, but where the previous owner fitted a wider alloy rear ...

I have bought a Z1A from Florida with a few non standard items fitted. I am keen to put the original bits back on. I am looking for the following items please. Air box assembly Centre stand with fittings. Front guard 4-4 exhaust pipes. 5" high US spec handlebars. Chain guard. Idiot light lower ...

ok, the build is now back up on here. took ages doin that. :?? anyway, i have won a bike on the bay and it has a 1371 bandit engine. it`s said to have 174bhp at the wheel. this will be the engine i will now be using. :D should be quite fun. :shock: i won`t know what the real power output is though u...

i picked the light bracket up from mark the welder today. that`s fitted. i`m happy with how that came out. i have chopped the shite off the top yoke and de seamed it ready for the risers to be welded to it. i cut about an inch off the length of the risers. they look better now. http://i71.photobucke...

the rear shocks are a bit soft. i can push the back down very easily. i have had a search for different ones. hagon do `em. not sure how hard the springs will be though. is it possible for me to upgrade the ohlins springs? it would be nice to keep the ohlins shocks. the undertray is now mounted. not...

a bit more done tonight. i fabbed up the light/plate bracket. just need to finish shaping it up and get it welded.

i better add, my young`un helped me too. he was rolling the air out as i was laying the matting and resin down. it was his work that ensured a good quality structure. err hmmm.

i had a go at making the undertray last saturday. i bought one of those kits off the net. it came with all that was needed to do it. i went for the kit with a clear top coat as the first layer was going to be carbon fibre. it didn`t work out perfect, but it is plenty good enough. the top coat is sli...
