Old skool drag zed

Hi! This is my long term project that I'm building from parts which I've purchased over the last few years. I've started with A4 frame that I've modified to fit the Z1000J motor I'm using. The swingarm is an original drag swing arm from years ago! The motor has got a lightened and balanced crank, 1327cc, 430 lift cams, oversize valves, straight cut gearbox, dyna 2000 ignition, lectron carbs, ape studs / nuts / tensioner. The green dream machine shite paint is being replaced by a set my son done for me. My plan is to keep it original looking-ish and have some fun on it! I'm also for a good J head if anyones got one??

And here's the helmet to go with the bike

Looks great and maybe my teenage useless maybe able to produce something like that, then I can take back all the things Ive said about him :-)

Thanks for the comments! not sure on power figures yet, will have to wait for the dyno! The rear tyre is a 150, but can go slightly bigger. Heres a few more pics, i bought a V+H Sidewinder and my son turned up some spacers, hes making me a speedo drive blank at the minute too. Trying to make some space in the shed so i can get stuck in!
