z1000 1978 Restoration project.
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 3:19 pm
I am in the thows of restoring a Z1000 A2, back to original condition.
Only modifications from standard are Progressive shocks. Straight bars, 4 into 1. I have a metchamex swing arm which I may put on.
Which has been progressing reasonably well. I have got to pick up the Petrol Tank side panels and tail from friends Spray shop this weekend. Only things left to do are Wiring, and Brakes.
I have almost finished the engine, but cam shaft bearings are slightly worn. Not sure whether to re use them or not.
Does anyone out there. Know where I can purchase a set of shell bearings for a Z1000 78? I know they are the same for Z900 - Z1000 from 72 - 78.
Z power sell full sets for ?95. Z1 enterprises who have been very useful are out of stock for these.
Any ideas ?
