The shiny paint looks great.
More pics as you go.
By the way.
That's going to be a radical build using a steering wheel instead of bars!

Good luck with the project.
I picked up a 73' z1 yesterday that looks like a pile of rust with pieces welded badly to the frame, its complete with wrong forks, wheels and basically everything else.
A chap actually used it for years as an off road field bike!!!!!!
How are you going to work the spool valves you have on the floor????

the spool valve will be for the hydraulic suspension and activating the automatic tourist remover from our nice twisty roads here on Anglesey
