Might just get them crank cases and start from scratch...
Or maybe it's time for an expedition to the Far East ....surely some must have been sent to Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam etc ???
Thanks for the feedback...

there is a z2A for sale on yahoo japan. My mate bought 2 Suz katanas off it and the guy was good to deal with, he got in touch with one of the grey importers here who sorted all the transport and docs as they take containers of bikes into the UK so its not impossible

Thanks Lads.
Can i get a link to the E-bay site in Japan please ? Im not too good at deciphering the site tbh. I am really wanting to challenge myself and find a "barn find" Z2 somewhere to do myself......There must still be some out there....
I will look at the Japanese bike tho' and give it some thought...I am contacting friends living in Thailand to see if there's any out there ...Who knows...It's a a"needle in a haystack" for sure but nothing ventured , nothing gained.
Ta muchly.
PS. Does anyone remember the fabled "Zed in a Shed" story on the Isle of Skye ?? The legend goes that there is a UK Z1 stashed away (and going slowly rotten) up there and that it's been there for many many years....I was there last week and heard the rumor again." A mate said he'd seen it very recently it but REFUSED point blank to show me where it is.... I am hoping to follow it up quite soon (with a bottle of malt or two!!)
...If anything come of it i'll post some pics...The story has been going on for donkeys years!!!
The Truth is out there......

Or maybe theres more than 1.....

This could have been sold 10 times over. There is probably a personal reason its been left to rot.
