Hi Baz, looking forward to the weekend, weather, at the moment, looks like it could be OK which would be nice. I've visited my folks in Newcastle the last three weeks and have had a damn good soaking heading back to Edinburgh each time!

I'll be there, I missed last year because of a very rare Saturday job that came up, looking forward to this one :-)

Meeting at Frankie and Benny's in Falkirk on the 27th of February from 9.30. Discussing last details before the Ingliston show and general banter :-)

Hi all, I'm looking for a Z1000Ltd front mudguard, a tatty one would be great as I intend on painting in black. Also a Micron fork brace for a '77 Z1000A1 would be nice. If you could PM me if you think you can help, cheers.

Hi Iain, i'll be there, might give the usual bacon & pancakes a miss this time

Hi Mark, sounds good. If you pm me and let me know how much you want for it we'll get it sorted out, cheers :-)

Cheers Scott, you've answered just what I was beginning to think since so many folk have done this. Hi Steve, apparently the ltd chain guards are like hens teeth. The bummer is I had one years ago but seem to have let it go somewhere along the line, Doh! Short guard, as Scott suggests methinks :-)

Cheers Scott, I recognise the bike, got a few photos of it from the Blackpool rally although not from that angle. Checking other photos from the rally I see a few folk have the shortened chain guard, this solves the problem of cutting a gap for the shock spring I suppose. I'm going to get the hacksa...

Thanks for the response guys. Yeah, I tried the some right angled aluminium and made decent job of the chainguard but just couldn't get the brackets right. Scott, do you have some pix of the converted XJR chain guard, sounds like it might be a better fit, I've already looked at the one on my ZRX1200...

Hi guys, I've got a '77 Z1000 which I fitted a Dresda box section swing arm on a few years ago. I'm now wanting to get rid of the huge chain guard and replace it with a slimmer aftermarket item. These seem hard to find so I was hoping some folk out there might have made their own chain guards and wo...

Hi Iain, yup I'll be there

Hi Iain, yup, I'll be there 9.30, bacon and pancakes methinks

Dammit!! A regular client has asked me to cover an event this coming Saturday and there's just no way I can wriggle out of it, first Squires do I've missed since I first went in '09. Totally gutted as it's always a brilliant do :-(

Hi Phil, I'll be there, looking forward to it :-)

Fantastic news Hobbo, It's a great weekend there :-)
