Nice solid looking mill; better than my poxy little chinese crap! Trouble is I don't really have room for a proper mill, so I'm stuck with my little Warco :evil:

Just had this delivered , new project for this year Z1000 full of 1980s custom mods. It will be in bits this week and not doing it standard. Looking at a mild steetbike build will lots of one off stainless and aluminium parts. Watch this space ????


Mmmmmm I believe there's a African A6 model that comes in Green, Red & Purple with Orange Vertical strips & it's a close call... but I think I'd prefer that.

Plenty of space for the oil lines to go between the tank and the frame.
Not a lot of jobs left to do.
but this will be a ongoing project, want to ride it and keep changing and making bits.

Love the Cooler work Andy ...real quality workmanship ...the machining & Stainless = Detail ! Also cooler lines over the Top of the motor ! Like you I have the same set up & I recon it's the way to go too ....as we know it keeps the Cooler primed/filled therefor oil to cams is almost instant instead on continually having to fill an empty massive void of 2 lines & a Cooler BEFORE the oil reaches the top end. I also run a clear Return line from my cooler so i can see whats actually happing . Cheers ..luv your work. Johny B

Andy, makes me laff - when comparing your skills to my Heath Robinson efforts :lol:

My oil cooler is held on by 1 x decent bracket + 2 x zip-ties :roll:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!
