Mornin' Chaps,
It's been two years now since I finished my baby Zed http://www.z1ownersclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19073
and the itch has started again to sort him out a big brother.
I've got a budget of around £2K, maybe stretch to £3K for the right beast.
Has anyone got sumut they they want to shift to make room in their garage or need some beer tokens for their summer holiday?
Please PM me if you have or know of anything.
I don't want to go concourse so non original parts isn't a problem.
Thanks in advance,
Bongo.

Hi Neil,
I'm after doin something along the streetfighter line.
There's been a few on here and I love the classic style of the Zed with the modern street twist!
So if its got a third party swingarm, forks etc... I'm still up for it.
Cheers,
Bongo.

I'm most likely going to be selling this one way or another.

It's not much of a project as there's little to do to it - it's got loads of new paint and parts. And had a recent full engine rebuild - all new everything that wears out. Had a crank rebuild and balance job by Chris Applebee back in November.

Unfortunately it let me down after spending all that money on it. The break in didn't go to plan and it's burning shedloads of oil - suspect glazed barrels. Also the frame split where the kickstand bracket is welded to it.

It cost so much I can't give it away - so I have to either get a replacement frame and sell it, or get a cheap chop frame, transfer the lot over and chop it. Whatever happens the love has gone and I've bought a Harley to take its place.
