Take your photos, then go to photo bucket, on your phone or idap computer (with a internet connection ) then make an account ( screen name and password free) then upload the photos to there. On go to the photo buck, and press the mobile upload, and all photos will automatically upload, when taken to there.. Might be better to do the photo bucket photos on a laptop ipad computer once loaded from your phone. Then bring up the photo you want, and high light the ( URL NEXT TO THE IMG.) then copy and go back to the post you are doing and past it in to the description.. Then press preview , see if it's ok, if so, hit submit.. Good luck.. ( this is a switch I refurbed, it's on my photo bucket) this is how the photos come out..

well chaps;

what I think is not quite right with her at the moment is as follows

1) she is a Z1A first registered in California in 1974 April
2) she is in a sorry state but not rusty and the frame is all sound
3) the seat does not look right
4) the bars are not right (USA ones)
5) grab rail looks wrong
6) engine is a Z1000 lump from late 1976 early 1977 by the number

I will now spend the next few weeks putting together a list of parts needed and then try to fix the carbs leaking petrol so I can start her.

engine has had some work on, new gaskets all round new plugs and filters.

she was owned by the late Bob Price ( bike racer) who very tragically died at this years TT when he crashed at Ballagh Bridge on his R6. He had done some work on her prior to the TT but was going to totally refurbish her. well the plan is that I will carry on and finish it for him.

let me know what you think, I am not worried that the engine is not right as I don't want a show pony that will sit in a garage, she will get used when she is back on the road.

Nice find. Look forward to following its progress.

Loving the z1000j though have a standard one in that colour.
