[keith500]

cheers he also gave me the large tank as well

[davejames]

Welcome Keith and good luck with it. I can see what you mean about the not being very well stored bit!!!!

[keith500]

Yer I think so but she won't be done over this winter, I have another project to finish first, my plan is to get it up and running assess the the motor and then strip it down, and find a few of the bits I need, managed to get a nos front mudguard the other bit I need is a seat, a fairing inner, the rest I think is all available, respray ect ect all takes money. So we shall see

I've come to believe, others may differ, that it being all there is more important than it's condition (within reason) if you plan to restore something. It doesn't really matter how good the paint is if you're going to repaint it, or how chipped the frame is if you'll powdercoat it, or how corroded the ally if you're going to polish it.

On that basis this looks like a cracking basis for a restoration.

[keith500]

Yep me to it costs the same either way

[KWACKERZ1]

good project.
like the mk2 what body kit was fitted?

[kas750]

Cracking project bike Keith.

[keith500]

body kit was from crossbow based in London putney bridge i drove 300miles to go and see the guy and 300 back and he said yep it would fit a mk2 lying bugger had to get a z900 tank and cut the bottom front edge off because you could see the tank,and i had to chop the rear frame by 6in to fit the thing on !!!! good fun though even more fun when i fitted morawaki high comp f1 pistons in the motor, it would breeze up to 150 and there was still a bit more to come

[keith500]

well it been slow going stripped all the carbs down and sonic bathed them all now putting them back together,replated all the brackets just got to re rivet the cable holder bracket back together as it was loose and to do a good plating job it had to be split,so you never know once i find some 5mm rivets it hopefully will run

[paul doran]

Keith any current pictures

[keith500]

Not much to see yet a few nice shiny bits back on the carbs, hopefully the bugger will run now. Fingers crossed
