Z1OwnersClub GB

At a Custom Show today at Jacks Hill Cafe (15th June 2014)























A Z650 turned up too...



A rare chance to see a Triumph Hurricane in the metal, only 1000 - 1100 of them worldwide.
This was also autographed by Craig Vetter himself...













An innovative idea going on with these clutch cover sight glasses to
create fuel level guides...

Nice pics Jay, the Z1R belonged to a mate of mine from about '84 untill about 10 yrs ago then he sold it. Its the first time ive seen it since!

It was painted by a polish guy in Wellingboro called Wacky. Good to see it still around!

did he put the z650 speedo on it

Was the first bike a "Kawasaki" ???

Common as muck them Z1R's

Thanks for the pics Jay. Is it an auto-jumble?
I'd love to get hold of a set of spoked wheels to put onto a z1r, I think they look great
the 'fuel guage' tank is extremely innovative. I dont like the look of it, but in an engineering sense it's great
cheers freddy

I'd love to build a 'Steampunk' bike incorporating the fuel gauge idea, if I had the facilities and dosh.
I can't get over it, it's terrific

Steampunk is the future

Yes Jim , it's clear to see by the cam cover that it's a Kawasaki
