Not sure what the paint was some sort of heat res'/enamel ?, was a bitch to get off. Used Nitromors and hours of gentle scraping with Stanley blades/mini sculture chisels, Polished with Dremil, Washed, dried in oven (not too hot), I flush out all insides using a syringe (used for filling printer cartridges), filled with petrol from a bowl and pump it through all airways (millions of times) so you know they are clear. Or WD 40
Full kits from Z enterprises.....Cheap job now runs perfect...
Or if you're not tight like me you can cough up loads of dosh and get someone like Smethurst' to do them.

Year 1 EFF ALL, Carbs knackered parked it up, hence "Knackerkwacker"..
Year 2 sorted carbs m'o't'd and just rode it....Not a lot..............
Year 3 nearly finished my shed and have started some work on zed, just going through bike at present to see what's shagged and what's o'k
Checked shims and ordered, plus: Pingel, Ape tensioner, Clymer so I can burn my Haynes..... and awaiting,
Today i've stripped both my front calipers, inspected, cleaned put back, together (temporary) o rings perished, don't have any, one pin seized in each caliper, don't know if any newbie's would like to see photo's?
of anything I do.......
Master cylinder leaking, now removed and have 5/8 kit ready to fit,
Fiddly little bar steward and can't find my little circlip pliers, moving on..
Next bit is where you lot come in
........
DON'T ALL SHOUT AT ONCE .........
Rear mudguard/light sits very low, you can see the mark on lense so obviously hasn't always been this way, mudguard is a shorty but don't think it's Z1 SERIES, very similar, (what is it?), bolt holes line up, What about light bracket?, See pic's.....Idea's/answer pleeeze........
May go for strip down this winter to paint frame, depends how much the misses pisses me off, if a lot, i'll be in shed, Hated the gold frame at first but it's starting to grow on me, it's either gonna be that or Gunmetal silver metallic or ?????? ....Definately won't be black 
.
Any way back to business......
