If the standard stays the same until the end then this is going to be a belter of a bike.

Some background music? -

Not a lot been happening on this of late, one thing an' another you know how it is - or maybe not if your blessed ha ha.

Anyhow to 'recap'

Z1B of 75 vintage - frame braced & delugged, rear frame rails extended 3"

Rear end - GSXR 750L swingarm and linkages,1100M wheel FZR 1000 Monoshock.

Front end - FZR 1000 Genesis ('88 41mm forks) welded & bolted 3" risers on FZR yolks

Anyhow, wot is 'in work' at the moment is the exhaust.

Exhaustcraft is currently making the pipe, which i believe is the first Zed he's made with a flat collector - main reason for this requirement for me, was ground clearance with 17" wheels.

Dave sent me these pictures of progress =

Very Nice Work :D The Flat collector looks Real good :brav like one of those Marving ones normally seen on German Zeds/GS`s etc, should give a good few needed centimetres of clearance
