Project Z1RII restoration
It took 3 years to find all parts and bits to restore this wreck to a top Z1RII.
This is the starting basis.

So it's going on.
Frame, swing arm,fork legs and other parts are powder coated.
I changed the powder coated fork legs to polished ones.
Checked out the damper cylinder, changed seals,dust caps, and oil.
Also the coated Z900 yoks to new genuine lower und top Z1R yokes.
Mounted new RH and LH head light brackets and guides.
Mounted a rebuilded and new painted master cylinder and brakle fluid reservoir.
Now the bike is on the right legs. Feets and shoes are coming soon.

No Paul,Z1RII, but the seller put some MK2 parts on the bike.

So, i was not sluggardly in the last days.
When i bought the rolling chassis,the seller told me that he changed the piston rings because the motor burned oil. Some kilometers after changing the bike burned more oil than before. Here is the reason
No problem, i took a used zylinder with pistons from a crashed MK2 with only 8500 km on the clock out of my storage rack.
I changed the worn cam chain parts,the sprockets and the top idler assy were in good shape,probably they were changed before.
When i removed the old hardened carb holders, the next surprise.
Ok also no problem, another grab in the storage rack for a good head.
Checked out the valve guides,grinding in the valve seats,and changed the valve oil scraper rings.
Ok, head on the zylinder, valves adjusted,new head bolds. ready
The old alternator was ok, but he don't looks trustable. So i took an better one, complete with cover
The carbs are ultrasonic cleaned.New float valves and seats,new jets.
Cleaned the airbox and mounted new air cleaner ducts
At the weekend i get the new tyres, Avon Roadrider
But i'm irresolute about the wheels.
I have 3 sets. LH is the original set. In the middle is a set of lester wheels and on the right side is a Melber wheel set.
