this is it, just got to get her going now, I will give a low down on what needs sorting in another post, but I thought I would show the pictures first.

As you can see it is not quite standard, and a couple of things need doing, maybe some of you may be able to help, and if you are local to Reading and fancy a ride down to offer help/advice it would be apreciated.
So far, I know the seat needs doing as it has a couple of big splits, I have bought a battery today, it needs a tacho cable, and two air filter pods, as only two are fitted. It did come with the original airbox, but I don't know if it is all there, I also got the original rear guard and light.

Very nice kev, great colour too.

Looks like a fine bike Kev, pleased to see all your efforts rewarded in the end.

Nice one, looks like theres plenty of potential there.

uk kev, WELL COOL
If u ever want to sell the pipe, I'm first in the queue mate
Z1000 are just so damned

Thanks guys, can you believe the guy was going to break it!

Has anybody got a spare float bowl?

nice one kev

looks as though she is all there - have located a local dealer who suprisingly has a stock new/second hand oem pipes! - quoted ?600 for 2nd hand and ?1200 for new so if you ever decide to take out a second mortgage i can let you have their details

cheers

She has a new seat

So I have owned it a week now, and things are moving on, I have started the deep cleaning of the bike to get rid of years of grime, time consuming but worth the effort, I have also raided e-bay, and have managed two sets of carbs, and a nice seat, that actually has red piping to match the bike.

Yo need some brakes next. Looking good.

Also needs a 4.25 rear rim and 150 section tyre , looks very good on Kath's 1000a2 . Good to see a 1000 and not those prototype 900's .

Looks like you had a find with the seat matching the paintwork. Some people moan about e bay but for those hard to find parts it cannot be beat.

Very tidy bike there Kev, that seat was a find!!

Thanks guys, the seat really does look like it was made for the bike, how cool is that.
Well my cleaning and polishing seems to be paying off, as I got the best compliment you can get today, when someone stopped to ask me if I would sell the bike and adding "what a very nice zed" I do have to say though it looks great in the sun with all that chrome shining.

nice bike
love those thous in red
