Z 650 1978 (Baby Zed)

#1 PostAuthor: Pigford » Thu Aug 09, 2007 5:24 pm

Well, I purchased a nice little Baby Zed last night :!:
Last owner had it for 20 yrs :shock:
Got box of spares (raask rearsets, std seat, std rear mudguard, Centre stand, Kawasaki Manual, spare engine less barrels & head, etc).
Has a rattly cam chain but runs OK, honed & new rings, good paint :!:

And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

that was taken just before I sold it :shock: I still don't know why I did that :roll: but it took me a long time to get it to that stage, but it was a fun journey.

get that cafe racer seat on it. Will fit straight on and look really good. I promise. That tail peice I cut will also fit straight on should you be tempted but as it is such a nice example maybe not such a good plan.
A ken fit like!

Try Z1 Enterprises In New York ! Z-Power over here in UK have pattern seats and they are very good but exchange rate with Dollar might make it too expensive !
