First photo was as I bought it.
Straight bars
horrible seat
no airbox
old black harris
NO electrics other than a battery and a dyna ignition unit
no switches.
Well I've been taking my time with it and first steps were to get it into a more roadworthy condition. It is NEVER going to be a standard bike - way beyond my capability/attention to detail but a good usable example.
I could have put on modern switchgear but a great club member sold me a set of date correct Z1 switches at a reasonable price.
Other members provided other bits (exhaust etc)
Z power has had quite a bit of custom - seat, wiring, headlight, indicators etc etc.
Other spares were sourced from the USA and ebay.
The biggest challenge was putting all the electrics back - starter gear, starter motor, gears, rotor, stator, solenoid, regulator/rectifier, wiring, lights, indicators, earth wires (don't forget them !), horn etc.
Well it now all works and I'm pretty pleased. Starts on the button first time every time and is charging correctly.
Just need to get it MOT'd and UK registered.
so keep it black or put on the new set of rootbeer bodywork I have ??
decisions decisions...............
