Yeah saw that mate but wondered on the graphics, is it gonna be a take on a standard Zed scheme or summat unique.

Not exactly unique John, something based on Z1000 A1 stripes, similar to me toast rack.

Picked up my frame today, all welded up.

It'll be off to Griffs next week for powdercoating. :hoo

Ordered some more titanium bolts too..... :ek

Nice welding, pity it'll be covered in powder.

Had a quick update on the progress of my head yesterday from Buzzard.
In his own words "Roughing out and reworking area around exhaust port valve guide."

What stage is Buzzard porting it to :?:

Steve,

I have absolutely no idea. :shock:

Buzzard knows what spec the rest of the motor is, so hopefully he'll do something to suit.

Today's update from the Buzzworks.

"Cylinder head on jig at correct angle on milling machine and lined up on valve guide casting hole using an 12mm arbor to make sure boring head is positioned concentric to valve seat. Valve seat throat is then machined to remove the ridge between seat and head casting. Some early heads which are poorly cast can have upto a 1mm lip/ ridge which is not good for decent flow. Buzz@buzzworkz"

The last couple of weeks have proved to be extremely busy work wise, so progress has been slow.

What I have managed though, is to strip the original motor, which from the outside looks quite unassuming.

I had the head off last week & was delighted to find these little beasties inside.

Things got even better when I flipped over the head. :drool

Although I've not stripped this any further, just packed it away for a rainy day.

I had wondered if there was any exotica waiting for me in the bottom end, but after today's efforts I can only report two snapped 6mm crankcase bolts which have drilled out successfully & one drill or tap snapped off in one of the sprocket cover bolt holes by a previous owner. :evil:

I'll get the offending case up to Bowden Auto Engineering to have the little bastard spark eroded, before they go to Griffs to be powdercoated.
