Z1OwnersClub GB

Hi Guys, About 6 weeks ago I came across this site and it rekindled my love of early Z,s, I posted some old pictures of my last Z900 which I had bored to 1200 and supercharged but that was when I was in my late 20?s, After a bit of hunting on eBay I managed to find a project that I liked the look of, I wanted something that had been slightly modified so on Sunday I chose the worst day of the year and drove all the way to London from Newquay in Cornwall in the snow to pick it up. I have posted a picture of the old bike and some of my new bike. I plan to swap some of the parts back to standard, headlight, foot pegs, indicators but keep the swingarm and rear calliper, I think the bike has been stored since 1993 but the previous owner plastered it in WD40 and it has no rust or corrosion, anyway I am well happy ,thanks

CJ, that look a bloody nice start for a project... LOVE that seat...

I think we talked about that bike just a few weeks ago Nice bike to start with,,,,

Looks like a nice starting point CJ. saw the bike on e bay and would have bid if I had not just bought my Z1000. Keep us informed of your progress and hope to see you around on her this summer.

Welcome back to Zed Land

the bike came with the standard foot pegs, grab rail, rear indicators, a brand new Harris exhaust 4 into 1, a Clymer manual, Z power parts list and bits and bobs, the bike has quite a lot of history and have been contacted by the original owner from 18 years ago, i have also got the spec sheet for the engine, 1075 kit, head polished, ported, gas flowed with the inlet opened to suit 33mm carbs, mega cycle 460/480 cams fitted, 10.5:1 cosworth pistons, dyna 5 electronic ignition, all engine work carried out by Ray Debben.

Thats a nice ZeD,

going to be a nice project ,keep the pics coming cje

Fantastic start point, please tell me your gonna junk them 'orrible blue cap head screws though!

Looks a gorgeous bike but I have to agree that the nasty blue screws really should be sold to a 16year old for his M***D along with the silly head lights!

I can tell that you are not keen on them little blue covers, well i felt the same and removed them this morning, i will post some more pics tonight but if anyone would like them covers and are a bit embarrassed to post just send me a PM

CJE when pigford pm's you for those blue screw heads . make sure you name and shame

Great looking zed thats only going to get better
looking forward to seeing it finished

Took the day off today, had to get started and sort a list out of things to buy, and strip off things i don't want to use. originally i started out wanting the pro-stock look, and will probably end up that way but the parts that came with the bike are too good not to use. anyway here are s few more pictures of my day

That looks bloody gorgeous, that paint job is legend
As for those blue screw covers..... thanx, but NO THANX
