Try Dave Barkshire Motorcycles in Norwich. He was well into turbos on Zeds back in the day

Or contact Dave Dunlop (Fastbyme) he's well clued up on Turbos and i'm sure he wouldn't mind giving some advice.

I've been keeping a close eye on that kit. I'd be very surprised if it goes for less than £600, possibly a fair bit more.
Can anybody read German ? Can't work out if the turbo is in good shape.

"The turbocharger was overhauled but never fitted. The kit is in a good used condition! This is a private sale, no warranty, no cancellation and no guarantee!"

There was a bloody gorgeous Zed turbo in Classic Bike (or similar) about 12 years ago... Beautiful green thing with custom points covers and things.... I fell in love with it! It was German as I remember.

Yeah, I've used those translators before. Usually translates into a load of nonsence.

Granted, not always word perfect but at least you should be able to work it out.....

i got it but im a little suspicious of the seller no paypal and in the last second it jumped from 430 to 800euros which happened to be my max bid does this seem normal? im hoping to contact a german member if we have any ,i would feel a lot happier if i could arrange a pickup [long shot i know ,but worth a try does anybody know of any members over there ] cheers noel

Congrats Noel
Auctions often jump up at the last minute. If I want something I never bid til the last second - no point in rachetting up the bidding
We defo have at least one German member, KawaMick who hails from Cologne - he may know of others.
He has posted in this thread
http://z1ownersclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3016&start=0
so you should be able to PM him form there.
Are you putting this in the 'arris? Enjoy!
